Theology Matters: The Why Answers The How

If you can deeply understand why you exist, you will have the ability to withstand any circumstance.

Think about it. If you believe you exist for physical pleasure, than you will collapse when you do not have any.

If you believe you exist to be respected and admired by others, you will wilt when you experience ridicule and judgment.

If you believe you exist to be as comfortable as possible, then you will be ravaged with depression when discomfort and trouble comes your way.

What you believe you exist for will be the deciding factor of how you handle EVERYTHING in life.

If you believe you exist to be made more fully into the image of Jesus Christ for his glory and your joy, than you will be able to withstand anything.

We will be able to say with Paul that it is all joy as we are being shaped into the image of Jesus, both in trials and triumphs.
