MESSAGE:
Each day we live on earth is for a purpose. Our lives therefore must be purpose-driven. This means we must have definite goals and objectives that we want to achieve each day.
Jesus Christ our Lord had an ultimate purpose, which is to take away the sins of the world and to seek and to save the lost sinners from perishing. Every word He spoke was directed towards that purpose.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
