Why are we Here?

As I sit here and ponder Why am I Here?  I have no where else to turn but to the Living Word of God.  In Genesis He tells me that I was created in His image.  What is that Image?  Do i reflect that image? If I was created in His image, do others see Him when they look at me?

WOW!!! 

How do I even begin to answer all these questions?  I can't unless I spend time in the Word of God!!  His Love letter to ME!!  In Colossians Chapter 1, I am told that Jesus Christ (God's only Son) is the image of the invisible God and that all things were created for Him.  So I must have been created for Jesus Christ! 

Matthew 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

2 Corinthians 5:17-21  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 

My study Bible defines Ambassadors as more than messengers.  They are representatives of the sovereign who sent them.  Christians have been called by their King to serve as ambassadors in a world that is rebellion against Him.  God has given His representatives a message of peace and of reconciliation.  In this way, believers are God's ambassadors, whose mission is to implore people to be reconciled to God, to listen to the forgiving voice of their Creator. 

How AWESOME is that!!!  We were created and placed on this earth for a PURPOSE!!!  Psalm 139:14 tells me that "I am fearfully and wonderfully made;"

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;"

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

All these things tell me that God created me for a reason and a PURPOSE!!!

Why am I Here?
