       The purpose, the goal of our lives, is to live in Christ—to live in God’s approval. Paul has told us this elsewhere. What else did he say in that verse? To die is what? To die is gain since we get to go to Heaven to be with him, where, in Heaven, there will only be one way of doing things, and that’s the way that will make us most happy, the way the God of the Universe has setup in perfection. There won’t be any guessing there, thankfully. Boy, that will be stress-free as everything will be settled—settled by Jesus. Jesus is Lord, as Paul so poignantly points out here. And that’s the purpose, right? The goal is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we accepted Jesus as Lord through the Gospel. So, we live by what we believe the Spirit is directing us to do, and he guides us through God’s Word to do what is pleasing in our sight, and his sight. And we will do what pleases God whether we are in this life, or in the one to come. God has purchased us with a price.
