PART 1
Developing My Life Purpose: A Christian Perspective
Introduction
In a world brimming with varied philosophies and existential inquiries, the question of purpose often emerges as central to human experience. For the Christian, the search for purpose is intrinsically linked to their relationship with Christ. The Scriptures offer profound insights into understanding and fulfilling our divine purpose. This article explores how one can develop their life purpose based on Christian living, supported by full Biblical references.
1. The Foundation of Purpose: Christ as Lord
The starting point for understanding our life purpose is recognizing Christ as Lord. Without acknowledging Jesus as the central figure in our lives, our sense of purpose remains incomplete. The Bible underscores this truth in several passages:
Matthew 6:33 (KJV): "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." This verse emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God above all else.
Colossians 1:16-17 (KJV): "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." These verses affirm that Christ is the source and sustainer of all creation, including our own lives.
2. Purpose in Obedience to God’s Will
Understanding and fulfilling our purpose involves aligning our lives with God’s will. The Bible offers guidance on how to live in accordance with God’s plans:
Romans 12:1-2 (KJV): "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This passage teaches us to offer ourselves fully to God and seek transformation through His will.
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV): "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." This verse highlights that our purpose includes doing the good works God has prepared for us.
3. Purpose Through Service and Love
A significant aspect of our purpose is serving others and showing love. Jesus taught that our actions should reflect His love and compassion:
Matthew 20:28 (KJV): "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Jesus’ example of servanthood sets a precedent for us to follow.
1 John 4:19 (KJV): "We love him, because he first loved us." Our love for others should be an outpouring of the love we receive from God.
4. Purpose Through Evangelism and Discipleship
The Great Commission is central to the Christian purpose. Jesus commands His followers to spread the Gospel and make disciples:
Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV): "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." This passage underscores the importance of evangelism and teaching others about Christ.
Acts 1:8 (KJV): "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." The empowerment of the Holy Spirit enables us to be effective witnesses of Christ.
5. Purpose in Perseverance and Faith
Our purpose involves persevering through challenges and maintaining faith. The Bible assures us that our trials have a divine purpose:
James 1:2-4 (KJV): "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." Trials are opportunities for growth and maturation in our purpose.
Romans 8:28 (KJV): "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." This verse reassures us that God orchestrates our lives for His ultimate good, even amidst difficulties.
Developing our life purpose from a Christian perspective involves recognizing Christ as Lord, aligning with God’s will, serving others, participating in evangelism, and persevering in faith. By grounding our purpose in the teachings of Scripture and the example of Jesus, we find a fulfilling and eternal purpose that transcends worldly pursuits. Embracing this purpose transforms our lives and enables us to make a meaningful impact in the world.

- Understand that challenges are part of your growth process. They build character and deepen your reliance on God.
Pursue Continuous Learning:
- 2 Peter 3:18 (KJV): "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen."
- Continue to grow in your faith and knowledge of Christ through Bible study, worship, and fellowship.

ReplyDeleteSo huwag gayahin ang pagiging suwail nila.
DeleteAng aking natutunan sa ating pinag aralan kanina ay patungkol sa Kung paano tayo crineate ni god , ni Likha nya tau para sya ating iglorify at sya ay ipinako Sa cross upang kanyang tubusin ang ating mga kasalan, and I learned the three composition compose of spirit, soul- psyche, body- soma,
ReplyDeleteRight, spirit-pneuma
DeleteAng natutunan ko po sa araw na ito ay ang kahalagahan na malaman kung ano ang ating pinang-galingan, at ang sakrispisyo ng ating mahal na Panginoong Diyos upang maalis lahat ng ating mga kasalanan.

ReplyDeleteWe call that "Grace of God"
DeleteI learned from this lesson that god is so good that he sacrifice his life to forgive our sins
ReplyDeleteYap, If you also quote scriptural support on that, you are ready to share to others
Deleteang natutunan ko ay huwag tayong sumuway sa utos ng diyos, dahil sa kwento nina eva at adan ay nilabag nila ang kaisa isang utos ng diyos ang huwag kainin ang nagiisang puno na may bunga, ngunit dahil sa mga kasinungalingan na isinambit sakanila ni satanas, sila ay natemp na kainin ito, at dahil don sila ay pinarusahan ng diyos.
ReplyDeleteThat's right
Deletekailangan nating magpasalamat sa diyos dahil ginawa niya tayo at ang natutunan ko ay ang greek word ng soul ay psyche, spirit ay pneuma at body ay soma, at ang tawag sa abnormal ay "abuse", Satan tempted Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree kaya ito yung dahilan ng pag introduce ng sin sa world, at noong unang panahon pinaniniwalaan ng mga tao na ang pinanggalingan is sa orangutan.
ReplyDeleteRodriguez, Ashanti Mae L.
Good understanding
DeleteAngela Mae O. Rivera
ReplyDeleteAng natutunan ko ay ang konsepto ng "likeness" na nangangahulugang ang tao ay itinuturing na pinakamahalagang nilikha ng Diyos at kawangis ng Diyos. Ang paglikha sa atin ayon sa kanyang imahe ay nagbibigay sa atin ng espesyal na papel sa mundo, kung saan kailangan naying isabuhay ang mga katangiang ito sa pakikitungo natin sa iba at sa kapaligiran.

Mirador,Julina M.
Amen ako dyan....
DeleteI learned from discussion po is on how mankind was made and had life through the power of God ,also how people sinned through Eva and Adan. I also got words po that we need to remember and apply in life such as , Pagdududa sa salita ng Diyos will be separated in the soul. Separation of soul and separation of God become spiritual death because death means separation according to the discussion . God saved us through his grace not own words .Cross means to redeem people in there sins kaya pinako si God sa cross and also to show his goodness. Most important to remember , MAN to Glorify GOD.

I learned po na ang mga problema at hirap sa buhay natin ay may dahilan. Hindi ito binibigay ng Diyos para pahirapan lang tayo, kundi para matuto tayong magtiis at maging matatag. Kapag natuto tayong magtiis, mas nagkakaroon tayo ng karanasan po na makakatulong sa atin sa susunod na hamon ng buhay Dahil dito, mas natututo tayong magtiwala sa Diyos at magkaroon ng pag-asa kahit mahirap ang sitwasyon.

PART 1: Developing My Life Purpose: A Christian Perspective
Ang aking naintindan at natutunan mula po sa aking nabasa ay ang purpose daw po ng buhay ng isang tao ay nag simula sa diyos, sundin ang kalooban niya at mag lingkod sa kanya at mahalin siya ng buong loob. Dapat po nating i share ang lahat ng ating natutunan mula sa kanya at mag silbi tayong guide ng ibang tao patungo sa diyos.
PART 2: Starting my New Life
Ang pag sisimula raw po ng bagong buhay ay sa pamamagitan ng connection o relasiyon sa diyos ( paniniwala/faith) ating i share ito sa iba at ipag patuloy ang spiritual life.

LESSON 3
Developing a life of purpose, sa Christian perspective, means po para sakin discovering and living out the reason why God created us. Hindi tayo nabubuhay para lang sa sarili nating goals, kundi para sa mas mataas na calling — to glorify God. Our purpose is rooted in loving God with all our heart and loving others as ourselves. Kapag sinusunod natin si Jesus at ang Kanyang teachings, nagiging clear ang direction ng buhay natin. God also gives us unique talents and gifts, and He wants us to use them to serve, encourage, and bless others. Through prayer, Bible reading, and obedience, we learn to walk in His will. Sa ganitong paraan, our life becomes meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with God’s eternal plan.

LESSON 3
Ang life purpose mo bilang isang Kristiyano ay hindi lang basta pangarap o pang-araw-araw na goals. Ito ay isang spiritual journey ng pagtuklas kung paano ka ginamit ng Diyos para sa Kanyang glory at para sa ikabubuti ng mundo. Dapat lagi kang mag-seek sa Kanya, alamin ang mga gifts at passions na ibinigay Niya, at gamitin ito para magmahal at maglingkod.
Sa ganitong paraan, nagiging makabuluhan ang iyong buhay at naaabot mo ang iyong God-given purpose.
Kung titignan ang buhay mula sa perspektibo ng Kristiyanismo, ang purpose mo ay maging isang ilaw at asin sa mundo, na nagpapakita ng pagmamahal at kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pang-araw-araw na buhay.

Purpose
11:00 - 12:00
PART 1
Natutunan ko na hindi pala pera ang tagumpay o kasikatan, ang tunay na layunin ng buhay. Ang lahat ng ito ay pansamantala lamang. Ang pinakamahalaga ay ang malapit na relasyon kay Kristo na nagbibigay ng tunay na kagalakan at kapayapaan. Ang layunin ko rin ay magmahal at maglingkod sa kapwa, dahil dito nakikita ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng aking mga gawa. Ang simpleng pagtulong, pagbibigay, at pag-aalaga sa iba ay nagiging paraan upang maipakita na ang Diyos ang center ng aking buhay. Sa ganitong paraan, nagiging makahulugan ang bawat araw na aking nabubuhay.
PART 2
Ang bagong buhay po ay nagsisimula sa pagkakaroon ng matibay na relation kay Kristo. Sa Kanya ko natatagpuan ang tunay na direksiyon at layunin ng buhay. Hindi pala sapat ang sariling lakas at plano ko, kailangan ko talagang magtiwala sa Diyos, sundin ang kanyang kalooban, at gamitin ang buhay ko upang maglingkod sa kanya.
BEED 1-WEEK 3
ReplyDeleteReflection
Ang aking naiintindihin sa aking nabasa ay ang paghanap ng layunin, natuklasan kong ang sagot ay nasa pagkilala kay Hesus bilang Panginoon ng buhay ko. Tulad ng sinabi sa Mateo 6:33, kapag Siya ang una kong hinanap, ang lahat ay ibibigay Niya ayon sa Kanyang kalooban. Hindi palaging madali ang magtiwala, ngunit sa baba ng aking mga plano, ramdam ko ang Kanyang paggabay—isang paalala na ang tunay na layunin ay hindi tungkol sa akin, kundi sa Kanyang biyaya.
Also, tinuruan ako ng Diyos na ang pagmamahal ay hindi lang damdamin, kundi gawa. Sa pagtulong sa kapwa, pag-unawa sa mga nagkakamali, o pagdarasal para sa mga nasasaktan, naisasabuhay ko ang aral ni Hesus: “Ang nagbigay ng Kanyang buhay para sa marami” (Mateo 20:28). Kahit maliit na bagay, ito’y bahagi ng dakilang plano Niya para sa akin, tulad ng sinasabi sa Efeso 2:10.
Tinatawag akong maging liwanag sa madilim na mundo. Hindi kailangang maging makapangyarihan o perpekto—ang simpleng pagsasabi ng katotohanan, pag-amin ng mga pagkukulang, o pagpapakita ng pag-asa sa mga nawawala ay sapat na para ipakilala si Kristo. Gaya ng utos Niya sa Gawa 1:8, ang Espiritu Santo ang magbibigay ng lakas upang maging saksi ako, kahit sa simpleng paraan.
Natutunan kong ang layunin ay hindi laging makinis na daan. May mga pagsubok na nagpapaalala na ang buhay Kristiyano ay hindi pagiging malakas, kundi pagtitiwala sa Diyos sa kabila ng kahinaan. Tulad ng pangako sa Roma 8:28, kahit sa hirap, naniniwala akong ginagawa Niya ang lahat para sa kabutihan. Ang layunin ko’y manatiling tapat—isang hakbang, isang panalangin, isang araw lang sa isang pagkakataon.

Reflection for Part 1: Developing My Life Purpose - A Christian Perspective
I draw meaning from the fact that my own calling is with Jesus and in Jesus. With Jesus as Lord, my life takes on a direction and is given meaning. My purpose is not, therefore, myself but to be used as a vessel of God's praise in my life through being obedient to Him and loving others and sharing the Gospel and keeping up faith. It is through pain that I am strengthened, and I learn of God using these times in my life to fully align me with the person I must become in order that I should fulfill His predetermined purposes and help others.
Reflection for Part 2: Starting My New Life
It goes on to motivate me to begin the realignment of my daily life with God's will. Its argumentation includes prayer, reading of the Scriptures, and understanding who I am in Christ.
I learned that God is placing a premium on my life and giving me unique talents to build His kingdom. Spiritually, I grow by trusting Him in my choices, setting goals with Christ at the center, serving others, and facing every challenge in faith; this is God's process of bringing His prepared life into manifestation for me.

I discovered that my life's purpose is more than just achieving my own goals, it is also about living for God and following his plan. Everything I do, including my schoolwork and everyday challenges, has purpose when I have him as my guide. This also served as a reminder that part of my purpose is to serve others and spread God's love. In the end I am confident that putting my trust in him will result in a life that truly has purpose and direction.

Hindi natin matutuklasan ang ating tunay na layunin sa buhay kung hindi natin kilala si Kristo bilang Panginoon. Ang pagkilala sa Diyos ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng ating layunin sa buhay. Sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang mga banal na salita at ng ating pananampalataya, nagkakaroon tayo ng pagkakataon na lumikha ng makabuluhang epekto.
Upang mas makilala natin si Kristo ng lubusan, kailangan nating pagtibayin ang ating relasyon sa Kanya. Ito ay magagawa natin sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa Kanyang kalooban. Sa ganitong paraan, mas mauunawaan at matutuklasan natin ang layunin ni Kristo sa ating buhay. Sa pagkilala kay Kristo bilang Panginoon, mas magiging maliwanag sa atin ang ating tunay na layunin at direksyon sa buhay.

Part 1-Reflection:Developing My Life Purpose: A Christian Perspective
I realized that my true purpose in life is found only in Christ. Sabi po sa Matthew 6:33, we should seek first the Kingdom of God because without Him, life feels empty. Colossians 1:16 also reminds me that we are created by Him and for Him, kaya dapat po lahat ng ginagawa ko ay para mag-glorify po kay Lord.Part of my purpose is to live according to God’s will and let Him transform my life. I also learned that I am called to serve and show love to others, gaya po ng example ni Jesus na nag-serve instead of being served. My purpose is not only for myself but also to bless the people around me.Another part of my calling is to share God’s Word and be a witness of His goodness.Kahit po may challenges, I believe God has a reason for everything.Romans 8:28 reminds me that all things work together for good for those who love Him. In the end, my purpose is to keep Christ at the center, to live in faith, love, and service.
Part 2-Reflection: Starting My New Life
I realized na ang pagsisimula po ng new life ko kay Christ ay dapat magsimula sa prayer and trusting Him.Sabi po sa James 1:5, kapag humingi po ako ng wisdom kay God, ibibigay Niya ito nang buong puso.Kaya importante po na lagi akong lumapit sa Kanya sa lahat ng decisions ko.Natutunan ko rin po na I must trust God’s plan, gaya ng sabi sa Proverbs 3:5-6, to lean not on my own understanding but to acknowledge Him in all my ways. This reminds me na hindi ko po kayang mag-isa, kailangan ko talaga si Lord bilang guide.Lastly, Philippians 4:13 inspires me to believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Kahit po may challenges, alam kong kaya ko basta kasama Siya. Ang new life po kay Christ ay hindi madali pero puno ng purpose, love, and direction.

Ang aking pag-unawa sa layunin ng buhay ay nasa *pagkilala kay Hesus bilang Panginoon*. Siya ang gabay at nagbibigay ng tunay na kabuluhan (*true purpose*). Ayon sa *Mateo 6:33*, kapag Siya ang una, ibibigay Niya ang lahat ayon sa Kanyang kalooban (*He will provide everything according to His will*).
Ang *pagmamahal (love)* ay hindi lang damdamin kundi *gawa (action)* - tumutulong, nauunawaan, at nananalangin para sa iba (*helping, understanding, praying for others*). Tinatawag akong maging *liwang (light)* sa madilim na mundo (*dark world*) - simpleng pagsasabi ng katotohanan, pag-amin ng pagkukulang, pagpapakita ng pag-asa (*speaking truth, admitting faults, showing hope*).
Ang *landas ng layunin (purpose)* ay may *pagsubok (trials)* ngunit naniniwala ako na *ginagawa ng Diyos ang lahat para sa kabutihan (God works all for good)* ayon sa *Roma 8:28*. Layunin ko ay *manatiling tapat (remain faithful)* - isang hakbang, isang panalangin, isang araw lang sa isang pagkakataon (*one step, one prayer, one day at a time*).

Module 1 Lesson 3 - Developing My Purpose
I realized that my life has meaning because God created me with intention. I know that everything that happens is part of His greater plan. My purpose is not only about reaching my ambitions but also about living with God’s Word as my guide.
This reminds me to stay faithful even when things don’t go my way. I may face struggles, failures, or disappointments, but I believe God is using them to shape me. My true success is not only in achievements but in living a life that honors Him. With this, I feel hopeful and encouraged to keep moving forward, trusting that God’s plan is always best.

God created us and is the creator of all living things in this world. Through Him we'll know our purposes on our lives by communicating with Him. Just by reading a Bible and listening to His words, we can develop our purposes in life. We're all created as an ipseity so we have a different purposes in life. In order to know it, we have to be a sedulous enough to the epiphany moments of our lives through His words of truth.
I learned that the true purpose of life is to start with Christ and follow God's will. It is also important to love and serve others as Jesus did. I also learned that even when there are trials, I should trust because God has a good plan for me. God created us, he created all the living things here in the world. I have learned that spreading love to others is our mission and spreading words God is part of our mission here on earth kasi alam ko sa sarili ko na mayroon tayung mission as a as a daughter/child of God. I have also realized that God's love gives me the strength to love and para patawarin yung taong nagkamali at mayroong makukulang sakin. I have also learned that when I put God first, He guides and gives meaning to my life.
ReplyDeleteAs a student, developing my purpose, according to this article, seems like less of a "find the perfect career" mission and more of a "transform my life" journey. It's about actively building a relationship with God, figuring out what I'm good at (my "spiritual gifts"), and then using those gifts to serve and love others. It's also a constant process of checking if my goals and actions line up with Biblical principles, and pushing through challenges with the belief that God will use them for good. So basically, it's not a one-time discovery, but a continuous commitment to growing in faith and aligning my life with God's will.

Reflection
Discovering my life purpose as a Christian reminds me that everything starts with God. I am not here by accident He created me with a plan. My purpose is to live for Christ, to obey His will, to love others, and to share His Word.
Sometimes it is easy to get distracted by what the world says about success, but the Bible shows me that real success is living a life that pleases God. Serving others, showing love, and helping bring people closer to Him give true meaning to my life.
Even when I face trials, I know they are part of God’s plan to strengthen me. My purpose is not always easy, but with faith, I can persevere and trust that God is working everything for good.
In the end, my purpose is to glorify God in all that I do and to make my life a reflection of His love. That is where I find true joy and fulfillment

Reflection
As I reflect on the Christian view of life’s purpose, I am reminded that true meaning begins and ends with Christ. The world often teaches us to chase success, wealth, or recognition, but the Bible makes it clear that without Christ at the center, these pursuits are empty. Recognizing Him as Lord gives my life direction and anchors me in a purpose greater than myself.
I see that my purpose is not only about personal goals but about aligning with God’s will living as His workmanship and fulfilling the good works He has prepared for me. It challenges me to surrender my plans and trust His guidance, knowing that His ways are higher and His will is perfect.
This also calls me to live in service and love. Just as Jesus came to serve, I am invited to reflect His love by caring for others and showing compassion. My purpose extends beyond myself it is lived out in relationships, kindness, and sacrifice.
Evangelism and discipleship remind me that my faith is not meant to be kept private. Sharing the Good News and helping others grow in their walk with God is part of my calling. It is both a responsibility and a privilege, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, I am reminded that trials are not signs of failure but stepping stones in shaping my faith and character. God works all things for good, even the painful and confusing seasons, to fulfill His divine purpose in me.
Living with this perspective, I understand that my purpose is not temporary but eternal. My life is meant to glorify God, reflect His love, and contribute to His Kingdom. In this truth, I find not only direction but also peace and joy.

true purpose in life is found when we root ourselves in Christ and live according to God’s will. It reminds us that fulfillment doesn’t come from worldly achievements but from serving others, sharing the gospel, and persevering in faith. By following the teachings of Scripture and the example of Jesus, we discover a calling that goes beyond temporary pursuits, giving our lives eternal significance. Embracing this perspective not only strengthens our faith but also empowers us to make a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of others and in the world.

Upon reading the part 1, Developing my life purpose: A Christian Perspective, I came to a realization that my purposes in life are not only achieving my goals and dreams, there is more to that. As a student whose view and knowledge are not fully holistic yet, this module guides and provides me the knowledges and answers I seek when questioning about my true purpose in life as one of God's creations and how can I Iive in his path by embracing my faith in Him.
Developing my life purpose in christian perspective reminds me that the point for understanding my life purpose is recognizing Christ as Lord. He created and saved us from our own sins. Upon starting my purpose in life by doing good deeds. I am truly grateful for everything and by the good deeds and every prayer improves my relationship with God with each and every day. My obedience to his every word made me fulfil my purpose not only for personal gain but also by aligning my life with God's will, thus I understood that all of the challenges I was faced with is according to God's plan since he had something planned for me in the future. Purpose through service and love thought me and shape me to become the being from the likeliness of God. Through serving others and doing good deeds and showing love, these purpose helps to spread love and create harmony to humankind. Purpose through evangelism and discipleship guide me to share and spread my knowledge to everyone through discussions and bible study, Sharing his gospel made me encourage everyone to be in his light. Purpose in Perseverance and Faith, taught me resilience through the darkest times in my life. Even through every challenges and obstacles, my faith will still remain intact and every temptations will be avoided. All mistakes are part of growth and all failures in life has a purpose, these trials are according to God's plans for us.
Starting my life and purpose with the virtue of God as I build and seek relationship with him through prayers and meditation, in every communication builds a pleasant feeling. Knwoing my worth, loving and caring myself, acceptance made me understand m identity in Christ. Aligning my life in God's will, made me shape my character through him as I trust him with all my heart, as well as seeking his guidance in which path should I take. By discussing and sharing bible studies to myf riend group and participating in bible studies, I have shared and spread the gospel. Lastly, through my resilience and resistance through obstacles and temptations, I also learned to preserve and grow through mistakes and failures. This purpose made me transform to the diffferent, improved and better "me" from the past. This made me embrace the new purposes that I was bestowed to.

Ang aking naiintindihin sa aking nabasa ay ang paghanap ng layunin, natuklasan kong ang sagot ay nasa pagkilala kay Hesus bilang Panginoon ng buhay ko. Tulad ng sinabi sa Mateo 6:33, kapag Siya ang una kong hinanap, ang lahat ay ibibigay Niya ayon sa Kanyang kalooban. Hindi palaging madali ang magtiwala, ngunit sa baba ng aking mga plano, ramdam ko ang Kanyang paggabay—isang paalala na ang tunay na layunin ay hindi tungkol sa akin, kundi sa Kanyang biyaya.
Also, tinuruan ako ng Diyos na ang pagmamahal ay hindi lang damdamin, kundi gawa. Sa pagtulong sa kapwa, pag-unawa sa mga nagkakamali, o pagdarasal para sa mga nasasaktan, naisasabuhay ko ang aral ni Hesus: “Ang nagbigay ng Kanyang buhay para sa marami” (Mateo 20:28). Kahit maliit na bagay, ito’y bahagi ng dakilang plano Niya para sa akin, tulad ng sinasabi sa Efeso 2:10.
Tinatawag akong maging liwanag sa madilim na mundo. Hindi kailangang maging makapangyarihan o perpekto—ang simpleng pagsasabi ng katotohanan, pag-amin ng mga pagkukulang, o pagpapakita ng pag-asa sa mga nawawala ay sapat na para ipakilala si Kristo. Gaya ng utos Niya sa Gawa 1:8, ang Espiritu Santo ang magbibigay ng lakas upang maging saksi ako, kahit sa simpleng paraan.
Natutunan kong ang layunin ay hindi laging makinis na daan. May mga pagsubok na nagpapaalala na ang buhay Kristiyano ay hindi pagiging malakas, kundi pagtitiwala sa Diyos sa kabila ng kahinaan. Tulad ng pangako sa Roma 8:28, kahit sa hirap, naniniwala akong ginagawa Niya ang lahat para sa kabutihan. Ang layunin ko’y manatiling tapat—isang hakbang, isang panalangin, isang araw lang sa isang pagkakataon.

Ang natutunan Kong aral mula sa teksto ay ang layunin ng buhay ng isang Kristiyano ay nakasentro lamang kay Hesu-Kristo, na nangangahulugang matutuklasan natin ang ating layunin hindi sa pamamagitan ng sarili nating paghahanap, kundi sa paggawa sa ating relasyon sa Diyos bilang pinakamahalagang bagay (Mateo 6:33) at pagkilala na ang ating mga buhay ay nilikha para sa Kanya (Colosas 1:16-17). Paunlarin natin ang layuning ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa kalooban ng Diyos at paggawa ng mabubuting gawa na inihanda Niya para sa atin (Efeso 2:10), paglilingkod sa iba nang may pag-ibig (Mateo 20:28), pagbabahagi ng Ebanghelyo (Mateo 28:19-20), at pananatiling matatag sa pananampalataya kahit sa gitna ng mga pagsubok (Roma 8:28).
