The Ultimate Purpose of Life

“This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The person who wrote the Book of Ecclesiastes is the richest and wisest mortal man in history: King Solomon.

After sharing all his wisdom, his conclusion is this: our whole duty is to fear God (worship Him with reverential awe) and keep His commandments (to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and to love one another as Christ loved us).

“Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you; even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John‬ ‭17:1-3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

If you have been wondering, this is the purpose for which we were born: to know Abba God and Jesus Christ.

Not just in the mind, but to know God experientially, intuitively, and eventually face-to-face.

There will be a time of judgment in the future, but for a believer, there is no sentence of condemnation because our evil works have already been judged in Jesus’ body at the cross. He endured the fiery wrath of God on our behalf.

All that is left for us is to receive the rewards for both open and hidden good works done for Christ.

If you live your life keeping the Grace commandments—basically a life of leaning on God’s love and sharing that love with others, you will be greatly rewarded when it is time to stand before Jesus’ throne.

Wait, what? We get spared for all the evil deeds that we do and get rewarded for all the good works done by using the grace that God first gave to us? Yes, it sounds way too good to be true, but it is the truth.

Most believers have no idea what God’s rewards are. They know of blessings, but when it comes to rewards, it is hardly taught about. The common misconception is to mix up blessings and rewards—but these two are different.

Blessings were paid for by Jesus’ blood at the cross, and God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Heaven. On the other hand, rewards are still with Jesus in Heaven. He said that His reward is with Him—we will only receive them after He comes again.

““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation‬ ‭22:12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Malaysia is going through the most challenging time we have ever experienced because of Covid-19. And no one is spared from feeling the impact despite that; there are a lot of kind souls out there that goes out of their way to help people as much as they could.

@hellotammylim is one of them with a vibrant spark. Tammy went above and beyond by organising a food aid to help those who cannot afford even basic needs for their household. It takes a compassionate heart to put time and energy into organising respective drives, even with a full-time job. She brought happiness to those who need it without expecting anything in reason while inspiring the rest of us.

People like Tammy are blessings to all of us, especially during the pandemic. And just like Tammy, there are ordinary yet inspiring Malaysians out there with their larger-than-life spirit overcoming challenges with their positive energy, and @tenaga_nasional presents a series of Malaysians' greatest untold “semangat” and achievement stories featuring four inspiring Malaysians :

1. Ridzuan Jamal (An entrepreneur who helps unemployed Malaysians to earn an income through the power of RM1 buns)
2. Ong Yong Xuan (20-year-old self-taught coder invented a study app to help SPM students study)
3. Mrs Paramesvary (Passion for food turned their family business into a kitchen for the community)
4. Mama Pinky (Beauty consultant who takes up clowning as a second job to feed stray cats)

Does God Love You?

“He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John‬ ‭4:8-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There is only one reliable way to know that God loves you.

When you receive a pay raise at work, that is not the proof that He loves you.

If you come down with a flu, that is not proof that He does not love you or is angry with you.

All these different ‘happenings’ are not how we measure God’s love for us.

The apostle John wrote the correct answer clearly for our benefit: “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

If you want to know that God loves you, just look at what He did for you at the cross.

God delivered up Jesus His only begotten Son, placed all your sins upon Him, and punished Him in your place.

God loves you so much that He does not want you to bear the punishment for sin. Jesus endured God’s wrath so that we who believe that Jesus is Lord are spared from punishment.

This truth will never change.

So on good days and bad days, you can lean on God’s love for you that never decreases.

God’s love is at the same level of intensity for all of us since the proof is the same. Jesus died for everyone’s sins.

Yes, everyone. Including the worst sinners that people deem unworthy of being saved.

This means that we don’t need to be jealous of one another. Comparison is toxic. God loves you just as much as He loves me. If you have faith in His word, you will experience the fulfillments of His promises.

“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Just visualize what happened at the cross and you can say, “Yes, this is how I know that God is loving and gracious towards me—because He delivered up His precious Son for me.”

If God did not withhold His best from you, then He will not deprive you of any good thing. Just as you got saved through faith, also receive good things through faith. That is the way under the New Covenant of Grace!

Discover the power of having faith in Jesus Christ in my eBook “Messiah’s Miracles” which expounds on the 37 recorded miracles worked by Jesus in the four gospels. As you see God’s heart of grace and love in these miracles, your faith will be prepared to receive miracles in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Waiting for life - Once on this island


[TI MOUNE]
A stranger in white in a car
Going somewhere
Going far

How it must feel to go racing wherever you please
Flying as free as a bird with his tail in the breeze
Even the fish in the sea must be longing to fly
Catching a glimpse of a stranger in white racing by

Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Are you there?
What can I do
To get you to look down and give in?
Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Hear my prayer
I’m here in the field
With my feet on the ground
And my fate in the air
Waiting for life to begin!


[TI MOUNE]
Mama's contented and Tonton accepts what he gets

[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
Oo la, oo la, oo la, oo la

[TI MOUNE]
Happy for tea in their cups and no holes in their nets

[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
Oo la, oo la, oo la, ooh

[TI MOUNE]
Happy to have what they have and to stay where they are

[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
Oo la, oo la, oo la, oo la

[TI MOUNE]
They never even look up at the sound of a car

[ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)]
Oo la, oo la, oo la

[TI MOUNE]
A stranger
Racing down the beach
Racing to places
I was meant to reach!
My stranger!
One day you’ll arrive
Your car will stop
And in I’ll hop
And off we’ll drive
We’ll drive!


Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Please be there
Don’t you remember your little Ti Moune from the tree?
Wake up!
Look down!
Hear my prayer!
Don’t single me out
And then forget me!

Oh, gods
Oh, gods
Let me fly!
Send me to places where no one before me has been
You spared my life; show me why
You get me to rise like a fish to the bait
Then tell me to wait
Well, I’m waiting
Waiting for life to begin!
Waiting for life to begin!
