2. Fire scriptures:
Romans 8:28
NIV
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[a] for those who are called according to his purpose.
Voice
28 We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan.
Expanded
28 We know that ·in everything God works [or God works everything together; or everything works together (see text note)] for the good of those who love him.[a] They are the people he called, ·because that was his plan [L …according to his purpose].
Galatian 5:22 – 23
Love – is a fruit of the spirit.
Mark 12:30-31
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
Called – When did God call you? When did you accept Jesus. That invitation had a purpose in the spirit and physically.
according to his purpose – what has God called you to do?
Do you remember the story of Jonah. He had been called but defiled until he accepted.
What has God called you to do in the spirit and in the market place/physically
Think of Joseph?
Think of Paul?
One very crucial example – John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
You will not perish…
You will bear fruit.
I will bear fruit..
I will not perish
You will not perish…
You will bear fruit.
I will bear fruit..
I will not perish
Psalm 1
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
