Day 15 - Formed for God's Family

You were made to be part of something more. You were created to be a part of God's family. In addition to our purpose of getting closer to God, we are also called to grow closer to each other. God treasures relationships. In order to grow as a part of God's family, there are things we must do.

Baptism is the first thing we are told to do. It is not optional, according to the Bible, and should not be put off. Baptism is a picture to the world of your choice to be part of God's family. If you are not faithful to this command, it is like telling God you don't want others to know that you belong to him. Obviously, if no one else knows that you are part of God's family, you will not grow closer to others and will not be able to fulfill this purpose in your life.

God is proud of his family. If you have accepted Jesus, then he makes you holy.  The mistakes we have made aren't important. God loves us and wants us to get to know each other. If you ever feel down, just remember that God thinks you are very special, and help others in the family know that God loves them too.

Thinking about my purpose:
Know. I was made to be part of God's family.
Remember. "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ." -Ephesians 1.5a (NLT)
Think about it. How can I treat the other members of God's family better starting today?
