The Purpose of Life

We are to take care of and maintain what God puts us in charge of. Genesis 2: 15   Home

If we neglect taking care of what has been put in our charge it would not be long and we won’t have it. Matthew 12: 13

How long does a plant that requires water live if it is not watered at the intervals that is required? How about Over Water it?

We were created to serve God, not God to serve us that is the Devils plan. Revelation 22: 3

We are given a body, how are we taking care of it?

It is not going to make you closer more spiritual with God.

It will make you happier to tend and keep it in good condition.

Keeping busy taking care of what God puts us in charge of gives us purpose. It takes our minds off of ourselves.

Each of us has different things at different times to tend and look over. Ecclesiastes 3: 1-22

Family, Friends, Homes, Cars, Jobs, etc.

The quality and effort put forth is reflected.

The results can be seen

• A house well-manicured

• A house dilapidated falling a part

You can see it in relationships, things a person has - What is the Condition?

Genesis 2: 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Matthew 12: 13 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Revelation 22: 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-22

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
