TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 1ST NOVEMBER 2024
Today, we have a clientele of believers who do not understand the purpose of salvation. Yes, salvation is free. It is God’s gift to mankind. But it came at a cost: the death of Christ on the cross. And His death was not in vain. If God’s singular intention for you was only to get you saved, then He would have called you to heaven immediately after you got born again. You then would have no business being here on earth. But He hasn’t done that because there is a purpose for you to fulfil.
As believers, we are a chosen, royal, holy, and peculiar people. But the critical question is: For what? What have I been chosen for? Why has God, in His wisdom, separated me from the pack? Child of God, there is a reason! God is a God of plan, purpose and objectivity. So, there is a purpose for everything He does! The continuing part of the verse spells out this plan clearly, and it is “that ye should SHEW FORTH the praises of Him…” Did you see that? You are called out to be God’s Ambassador on earth!
As God’s ambassador here on earth, there is a standard that He expects of you. Your lifestyle,conduct, language, and actions must conform to His identity. Just like in the natural, an ambassador of a country is an official envoy and highest-ranking diplomat who represents his country in a foreign land. Because of his appointment, he is duty-bound to protect the interest of his country and should at every point, portray his country of origin in a good light through his lifestyle, words, actions and general conduct. That is the same way you, as a believer, are duty-bound, irrespective of where you find yourself, to be a good representative of God’s Kingdom.
