ID and Purpose Driven


Jose Abenchuchan during the "ID" weekend.

Today is Wednesday and the ID lessons are still fresh in my heart. The Spirit in me keeps reminding me five important points for the world to identify Christ in me: Demonstrate, Connect, Lead, Accept and Celebrate. God has a purpose for every person who has a "relationship" with Him. His purposes for our lives are: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and mission. It just caught my eye that the five identities and five purposes (Purpose Driven Life) relate together very close.

Demonstrate Christ's love is worship
Connecting Christ's love among each other is fellowship
Leading ourselves and others with Christ's love is discipleship
Accepting the gift we have from God and use it in His Kingdom is ministry
Celebrate the gift we have with a zeal to reach out to our community is mission

We were called to love these purposes! We were called to carry out His will. We were called to demonstrate His love He has given us.
