When I was saved (a singular event/born again) I did not know Koine Greek, however, I believed in Jesus as my personal Saviour and I was saved just like Jesus said it would happen.
How cool is that!!!

Our purpose is to glorify Him
How we glorify God differs as the spiritual gifts He gives us and as we mature in Him,He entrusted us with good works and a ministry to edify and build up the Body of Christ and to show God's love in a dying world.
We have some who feed the poor, clothe the naked,build houses for those with out homes, visit prisoners, intercessory prayer, hospitality, discipleship training, music leaders, etc.
It's lovely when we all work as a church together to glorify God.

Amen and Amen.
No need to search for some special personal purpose, we are His glory and He loves us, we glorify Him when we receive His truth and walk in His Love and Grace, and from there we glorify and serve Him in all that we do.

I wish everything we did glorified God but bickering and other sins fall short of that.
What is wrong for searching for our personal purpose in God's plans? God calls us each to a different task in life....we should listen and follow His calling.

Sorry I did miss it.
By humbling ourselves, learning of Jesus and by faith or believing in His Word and taking up our cross daily and following Him.
Yet, I do not see how this is living by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God?
It seemed to me you were applying this verse initially, in a more literally sense, however now you apply is more as a statement of general discipleship?
So when Jesus spoke these words to the devil this is what He was saying that we must take up our cross?
Do you not see how Jesus was comparing and contrasting the physical realm (bread) to the spiritual realm (the spoken word of God)?
Jesus did this frequently.
Hi UG
Did you notice that my answer in red above to you was just paraphrased words from Jesus (Matt 10:38; 11:28-30). The scripture we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is not for the devil it is for man. Jesus just spoke it to the Devil. but it is meant for those wanting to follow Jesus. "Man does not live by bread alone but by every word.... If you continue in my Word....(Matt 4:4; John 8:31).

We glorify Him when we walk in His grace and love. None of us do this perfectly but when we do, it brings Him glory.
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men Colossians 3:23
I rather to do all things unto the Lord rather than believe I have a special calling, but maybe some do, that I do not know, I only know for myself, when I focus on me I get lost in me and not Him.

when did you conquer death. with no context, to when you, started the new covenant. take it up with the logos word.
Galatians
is talking about jewish converts to christian teachings.
may be help, if you could explain this truth or knowledge of the truth to us here on cc..
.25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
what guardian would that be.
since you, have no context, to what a sin is,or been appointed judge, the only person held and condemned by the law, is someone that thinks,the law, still applies to them.
For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.Galatians 3

Tell me why did Jesus die on the cross and was resurrected? Where do we follow Him to...the cross? If I have not a cross to bear then am I not saved?
I cannot understand your theology no matter which way I try.

It is not my theology it is the Word of God. You will never know it if you do not ask Jesus to be your teacher
Isa 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Joh 14:26,
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

done, with no context to scripture.
when did these verse of scripture , give a gentile, the law, to repent from.
when did these scripture explain,returning to law, if jewish convert ,born.
Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.Galatians 3
how do you connect the dots, if you disregard change.Hi FranC,
Maybe or I could say that at the end of these scriptures Jesus says on these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets? Did you know Jesus was quoting from the Old Testament scriptures referring to God's Law (Deut 6:5; Lev 19:18). The new covenant is love to God, Jesus saving us and writing His Law in our hearts so that we can love him and follow him.
God bless
the jewish law needed temple of stone. and animals for forgiveness. etc
john the baptist was using water etc
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."
i never said jesus was not god. i said the believer has, to start (firstly) by believing in the son. to be given eternal life
if you do not believe in the son, then you have, no access to god. because the law will condemn you.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us---for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"---14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.Galatians 3
when were you told to, believe jesus was god.
For God So Loved the World
16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through himJohn 3
simple fact, you need to believe in the son, firstly,
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.1 etc
how did you,find out about, eternal life. would you like to answer, that question. etc
Here are several verses,
John 3
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
