There are three ways to live in this life. We can exist, live, or live for God.

There are people in life who simply exist. This group consists of mainly unsaved individuals, however, there are a few saved people who are existing. These are people who don’t have any dreams, desires, or goals. Their motivation is gone and their faith is limited or non-existent. They are working a job they hate, only to survive. They have a pessimistic perspective on life due to negative experiences. Finally, they contaminate others with their view on life.

The next group of people are living. These people are a step above existing. These people desire to see the world, make a difference, and be successful. They have dreams and goals, but their motivations are different. Their motivations are for selfish, boastful gains. They are the people who want to be millionaires for the sake of being millionaires. They want to be successful simply to have and live more. There’s nothing wrong with being successful, but our motivations should be different.

Finally, we have the people who live for God. Their motivation is to please God and advance His Kingdom. Every thought and idea these people have involves God. Their dreams and goals are God-inspired. They want to be successful to bring more glory to God, according to Matthew 5:16. They may want to have children so that additional people can advance the Kingdom of God. They want to be more financially successful to be more of a blessing, according to Genesis 12:2. They realize because they’re Kingdom-minded (having a mind to please God and advance His Kingdom), all of their personal needs and desires will be given to them according to Matthew 6:33.

How are you living? In what ways can you improve? Let’s all get inspired to live for God.

Romans 14:8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
