The purpose of man, God's will know to man, God's will for us, God’s Purpose for us.

 

The purpose of man

 

Knowing and following God's will. Philippians 2:2 – Then make my joy complete by being likeminded having the same love being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of self-ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also the interests of others. Philippians 2:13 – For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

 

God's will know to man.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 – we are to be sanctified – saintliness, godliness, the quality of being sacred.

Sacred – dedicated to or reserved for the worship of deity. Dedicated to or set apart for a single purpose, use of person.

 

                  God's will for us

1 Thessalonians 5:12-24 –¹² Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. ¹³ Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. ¹⁴ And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. ¹⁵ Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray continually, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰ Do not treat prophecies with contempt ²¹ but test them all; hold on to what is good, ²² reject every kind of evil.

²³ May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

 1 John 5:13-15 – That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask we know that we have what we asked of him. Revelations 4:11 – For you oh Lord created all things and by your will we were created and have their being.

God’s Purpose for us

Alma 37:7 – Eternal purpose – bring about the salvation of many souls. Mormon 5:14 – His great and eternal purpose in restoring the laws or all the house of Israel to the land of their inheritance unto the fulfilling of his covenant.

1 Corinthians 15:40, 41 – ⁴⁰ There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. ⁴¹ The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

Sun – Celestial Kingdom – receive the benefits of being with Heavenly Father and Jesus his son. Melchizedek priesthood holders and their families, received the gospel, reported, accepted Christ as their savior, received the Holy Ghost – were born again – the church of the first born. The baptism must be sealed by one having authority to perform the baptism which is an Aaronic or Melchizedek priesthood holder. Moon – Terrestrial Kingdom – receive the benefits of the presence of Jesus but not of the Father. These are people born after the birth of Christ, who died without the law. They did not receive the testimony of Jesus in the flesh. These are honorable men who are blinded by the craftiness of men. Stars – Telestial Kingdom – receive the benefit of the presence of the Holy Spirit. These people were born before the birth of Christ, they received not the gospel or testimony of Jesus Christ. They do not deny the Holy Spirit. The Telestial shall receive the ministering of the Terrestrial and the Terrestrial shall receive the ministering of the Celestial. Outer darkness – hell. D&C 84:81 – Therefore take no thought for the morrow, for what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink or where with you shall be clothed. 83 – For your father who is in heaven knoweth that you have need of all these things. 84 – Therefore let the morrow take thought for the things of itself.

Don’t Worry. Heavenly Father will provide as needed. He knows what we have need of, what the desires of our heart are. He will take care of us. Our needs are quite basic, food, water, shelter, clothing, transportation, money to sustain us. He will provide that for which we need, nothing more, nothing less. If more is given, more is required in return. I want to take a moment to thank my Heavenly Father for this time to read the scriptures, study his word and pray. It is apparent to me at this time that I was not listening to abiding to his commands. I therefore brought misery, pain and suffering to myself and my family. I commit to never doing this again. May the blood of Jesus Christ be upon me and my prosperity, today, tomorrow and for all eternity. In the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and savior I rebuke thee Satan.

Rebuke – reprove, reprimand.

Reprove – to find fault with, to rebuke. Reprimand – to rebuke, formally, censure.

Censure – an expression of strong disapproval or criticism. To express strong disapproval.

Be gone Satan in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Ghost. I serve the Lord always and forever. No longer do you have dominion over me. As for me and my house we choose to serve the Lord.
