ANSWER ONE –
Life is about knowing and experiencing our God and all the incredible plans
that he has for our lives! True life involves being saved from our old
life, where we don’t know God and we are without hope for eternity, and finding
a new life in Him! “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” And then life becomes a journey
of experiencing more and more the depths of who he is, what he has done for us,
and what he is and will do for us and with us! It’s a life changing
journey of freedom to be who we are meant to be!
ANSWER TWO – Life is about sharing this offer of new life with others! God has called us to be his ambassadors, his ministers of reconciliation, his fellow workers, because NOW is the day of salvation. Jesus has set us an amazing example of how to do this work, and he calls us to follow him. Let’s not receive God’s grace in vain v.1, but let us be people who are like Jesus in this world, where our lives shine out his message of grace in abundance. And let’s have faith that we will see many others experience this new life in Christ too.
Take a moment to think. What is your life about? Are you up for this journey of life that God invites you on?
