Ephesians 1:12
That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.
The question has been asked many times, "What should be the main business of a Christian?" There are lots of answers and opinions about this, but there is really only one answer.
The correct answer to the question can be found in the fact that the main business of man is God and his business! It seems that in this day of religious excitement, when we have had some indications of a stirring in the tops of the mulberry trees (1 Chron. 14:15), that many believers have missed the point. We are not saved for us. We are saved for Him. We are not to be filled with the Spirit for us, but for Him. His blessings come to us, not just to make life enjoyable for us, but they come to make us employable by Him, for His glory.
A "self point of view" must be exchanged for a "God point of view." We are not to be in the business of life for ourselves, but for Him. He made us for Himself, and we can have no real meaning to life until we exist wholly for Him. That's what eternity is all about! That's what salvation is all about. That's what God's plan of economy is all about. That's what all of life is about. I want you to get a clear understanding of this before we go any further. If you grasp this truth, your whole life will change. Your health, vision, prosperity, every aspect will get better and better, when you learn God's principles and apply them. But, this is not for you, it is for Him! Blessings will come to you in every realm of your life, but I want you to understand that it is for Him! You will know sufficiency and satisfaction as you have never known it before, but it is not for you, it is for Him! It is in Him that we live and move and have our being. It is unto Him that we should be to the praise of His glory. It is through Him that we are enabled to be what He redeemed us to be.
Now, let's get on to the main business of life, and the main business of life is His business.
