Day 36 - Made for a Mission

God designed you with a mission. When you do things for believers, it is your service. When you do things for unbelievers, it is your mission. Your mission is to bring other people to know God. Your mission is your fifth purpose and is very important to God.
Your mission is continuing what Jesus did. We are told that reaching out to unbelievers is not optional. It isn't something that some people do and others don't, it is something that Christians do. You may be the only one who can reach a particular person.

Your mission is a privilege. God is willing to use you to reach out to others. That should amaze you.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them. There is nothing more important or worthwhile you can do.

Your mission has eternal significance. Whether or not you share the Good News with others can directly affect how they will spend eternity. Will anyone be in heaven because of you?

Your mission gives your life meaning. Everything else passes away. Why bother with things that don't last?
Our mission is not to worry about when our time is up or when Christ will return. Our mission is to spend the time we do have on things that are eternally important to God.

What will it cost? Everything. But what else is more worthwhile? What is worth more than giving it all so that one more person can come to know an eternal relationship with God in heaven? Is popularity more important? Is there a friendship more important? Is money more important? Nothing in this world is more important than bringing others to God. Realize that, and focus your life around that mission.

Thinking about my purpose:
Know. I was made for a mission.
Remember. "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." -Matthew 28.19-20 (NIV)
Think about it. What fear keeps me from telling others about Christ and fulfilling my mission?
