Because He Lives: Life Has Purpose

Porque el vive: La vida tiene un propósito

It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. Ephesians 1:11-12, MSG

11 En Cristo también fuimos hechos herederos, pues fuimos predestinados según el plan de aquel que hace todas las cosas conforme al designio de su voluntad, 12 a fin de que nosotros, que ya hemos puesto nuestra esperanza en Cristo, seamos para alabanza de su gloria. Efesios 1:11-12, NVI

God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. John 3:16, CEV

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11, NLT

Porque yo sé muy bien los planes que tengo para ustedes —afirma el Señor—, planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, a fin de darles un futuro y una esperanza. Jeremías 29:11, NVI

Key Point: Your Purpose Is Part of Something Greater

Tu propósito es parte de algo más grande

But his plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally. Psalm 33:11, GNT

Pero los planes del Señor quedan firmes para siempre; los designios de su mente son eternos. Salmos 33:11, NVI

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 2 Timothy 1:9-10, NIV

Pues Dios nos salvó y nos llamó a una vida santa, no por nuestras propias obras, sino por su propia determinación y gracia. Nos concedió este favor en Cristo Jesús antes del comienzo del tiempo; 2 Timoteo 1:9-10, NVI

but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2 Timothy 1:9-10, NIV

y ahora lo ha revelado con la venida de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús, quien destruyó la muerte y sacó a la luz la vida incorruptible mediante el evangelio. 2 Timoteo 1:9-10, NVI
