« ESV But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. »
« Amplified But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light »
« EE But you are not like that. You are a special group of people that God has chosen. You serve God like priests who serve a King. You are his own holy people who belong to him. He has taken you out of the dark place of sin, and he has brought you into his great light. He has done all this so that you can tell people how great he is »
8 For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith.
9 It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it.
10 God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.
- God has a purpose for everything He does.
«NASB Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me »
God’s reason for delivering the Israelites from bondage was so that they could serve and worship Him.
Likewise, your salvation comes with a purpose, as the passage in today’s Bible reading reveals.
In Mark 1:40-45, a leper came to Jesus and said,
“I know that You can make me clean if You are willing.”
Jesus answered, “I am willing.”
With one touch, the leper was cleansed, and he went everywhere testifying.
God heals so that there can be testimonies.
Also, anytime He sets captives free, it is for a purpose.
In Mark 5:2-20, the madman of Gadara was delivered and was ready to follow Jesus everywhere,
but Christ said No!
He had been delivered for a purpose – to be a witness.
God also sets free for His name to be praised.
In Mark 3:1-5, the man with the withered hand received his healing because Psalm 47:1 says,
“O clap your hands, all ye people…”.
A withered hand cannot be used to clap for God, so his hand was restored.
What is the purpose of a miracle ?
The Bible says in Acts 3:1-11 that when the lame man at the Beautiful Gate received his miracle, he started walking, leaping, and praising God.
When you receive a miracle, it is so that you can begin to praise God.
Also, miracles lead to the salvation of souls.
In Acts 4:4, we see that Peter’s speech after healing the lame man led to five thousand people being saved!
- God does miracles to draw people to Himself.
In Luke 5:1-11, when Jesus stepped into Peter’s boat after he had laboured all night and caught nothing, he received a huge miracle that frightened him.
The Lord said, “From now, you will no longer catch fish but men.”
Peter got a breakthrough that drew him to serve God because the Bible says that he forsook all and followed Him.
You should ask yourself,
- “Why has God delivered me from darkness and kept me healthy ? Why did He save my soul?”
He did all these for a purpose.
Have you discovered that purpose ?
Don’t just thank God for healing, salvation, deliverance, and provision; remember that He did everything for a purpose.
You must continually seek to discover His purpose for your life and fulfil it.
Prayer focus – Lord, help me to discover Your purpose for my life and give me the grace to fulfil it.
