Our Purpose of existence as an international community of faith is to honor God in Christ in everything that we do. Our desire is to see God in the center of our prayers, our actions and every activity.
Our Pattern or Model in Glorifying God is Jesus Christ, The Son of God as we see in the New Testament gospels, He is consumed by one thing To hear God’s voice, and to do Gods work. He said, I have been sent to do the will of God. He lived His life on earth only to Honor God, His Father in all that he did. Jesus said, in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
We have been given the power to fulfill this pattern and purpose, Our Power comes from the person of the Holy Spirit who inhabits every true believer in Jesus Christ, as promised in Acts 1:8 "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." The Holy Spirit is the one who gives us the ability to do His will and become witnesses which means people who wants to live a dedicated life and if required give our very lives for the sake of God’s Glory.
Finally, How does God want us to respond to His Purpose, Pattern and Power? OUR PASSION,
Our response, is written in Matthew 22:37-39, And He said to him, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." On these two commandment hung all the Law and the Prophets. What this is saying is when we love God, Ourselves and Others, we have fulfilled both the Old Testament and its teaching.
This is why we say, Christianity is not a religion but a relationship first of all, Its about falling in love with God, who He is and what He does for us. We respond in surrender to His will because He is a Good God who has good thoughts and good plans for everyone of us.
