God’s stated, Biblical purpose for mankind is to represent Him and operate in His authority and power to ensure His “will is done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.” (Mt. 6:10)

TOPICS TOUCHED ON:

– Promises made to OVERCOMERS: not to be taken lightly.

“To him who OVERCOMES I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:20-21)

– Success is often related to perseverance and not giving up.

– the SIMPLICITY of the Gospel (2 Cor. 11:3)

– Purpose is found in GOD and following HIS plan for mankind. “All things were created through Him and for Him.” (Col. 1:16)

– Purpose of the universe is focused on the Earth. “… let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth” (Gen. 1:15)

– The elements created on the Earth (plants, trees, etc.) sustain the life of mankind, who is the focus of God’s intention.

– God’s stated purpose for man: To have dominion over all the Earth and thus ensure God’s will and purposes are established. “WHAT IS MAN that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, [ELOHIM – GOD] and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands.” (Ps. 8:4-6) and Genesis 1:26-28

– The Fall of Adam and Eve and the resultant cursing of the Earth; because mankind is in a place of dominion over the Earth. The way mankind goes, the earth goes as well.

– Spiritual death (through the first Adam / SIN) affects spirit, soul, and body (sickness, disease, death) … Spiritual LIFE (in Jesus) also affects spirit, soul and body — providing health, healing, and eternal LIFE. Jesus provided healing for the entire being: spirit, soul, and body.

– Jesus’ commission to believers: DISCIPLESHIP.

– If one believer disciples one person per year, and these two reach two more next year, and so on … in 34 years, the whole world would be reached.

– The importance of obeying Jesus’ commission to reach others.
