I like purpose—in fact, I rarely do anything that does not have some purpose to my life and my liberty in Christ. To have purpose is to have life. However, without the liberty Christ has given me there is no God given purpose I can attain too.

One cannot find purpose without finding liberty. Without ‘perfect liberty’ there is only destruction and death. Many people never find who they were meant to be; they never find the purpose they were created for because they never found the liberty Christ offers. Patrick Henry said it so well, “Give me liberty or give me death”. His words were found in Christ (Providence) and the Scriptures (Bible) he believed in.

Notwithstanding, there is another side to this principal—one’s destiny. Many people will find purpose for living their lives but never acquire their destiny. There is a destiny, all of us have in Christ. Destinies are much greater than purpose and greater than who we are. Will I live up to the new name God has for me? Will I find and fulfill my destiny? Do I ask God for it; do I search for it as a “pearl of great price”?

There are examples in Scriptures of individuals that never attained to their destiny God wanted for them and set in place for them before the foundations of the earth. Sadly, they never will receive their ‘full reward’ in heaven. You and I have a destiny—you and I must find what that is and strive for its fulfillment while there is time.

The completion of your purpose and destiny will be found in judgment. God asks us to judge with Him, His judgment. We are to be light in darkness, salt of the earth, and to carry His words via the Sword of the Spirit.

What are your purpose and your path to your destiny—it is always found in executing truth, righteous, and faith found in Christ. Be strong, be bold, be in Christ alone while on this earth. You and I are not to fight against our fellowman but against everything that exalts itself against Christ and all evil found in Satan on earth or in heaven. What good are we if we are not salt—if we do not confront the world around us? Purpose yes, destiny I have found but there fulfillment is only attained in the battle God has placed before me. Be a Noah, be a David, be a Martin Luther, be…”Blessed are you when men say all kinds of evil against you and persecute you for my sake, for great is your reward in heaven…rejoice and be exceeding glad!”

My liberty, my purpose, my destiny, my judgment … my rejoicing!
