A chair is made for a person to sit in. When a person uses a chair as a step stool, they have perverted its use. The chair may accomplish that person’s goal to reach to a higher place, but its use was still perverted. Likewise, a baseball bat is made to hit a baseball. When a person uses a bat as a weapon, they have perverted its use. The baseball bat may be effective as a weapon, but that was not its intended purpose.

Anytime an item is being used outside its original purpose that item is being perverted.

Ephesians 2:10 says, for we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. We were created to do the will of the Father. The Father’s will is in His Word. Anytime we do anything outside of God’s will, our use is being perverted because we’re doing something God didn’t originally design us to do.

Most of us know what’s outside the will of God, but for example anytime we’re fearful, involved in homosexual activity or fornication, we’re living a perverted lifestyle. Anytime we’re gluttonous, hateful, or not consulting God in our decisions, we’re not living in our purpose.

We may live a long and seemingly happy life having some fears or involved in fornication, but we would not be operating in God’s best. When we’re not operating in God’s best, we’re prone to have more challenges in our lives. Also, by walking in disobedience, we forfeit some of the things God has for us.

So, begin or continue operating in the designed plan of God to please God and experience God’s best.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
