What is the goal of the Christian life?
Read John 17:3. The Goal is to know God. This is not just and intellectual knowledge. It includes this but it is much more. We are created to be in fellowship with God, 1 John 1:3, 7. Through Jesus Christ, the Christian is brought into an eternal relationship with God — starting now.
This is the beginning and ending, the alpha and omega of healthy Christian leadership. God is the One who ultimately builds leaders. It is therefore imperative that the emerging leader cultivates and deepens his or her relationship with God. The Scripture says to "take root downward, bear fruit upward."
Is the way you are pursuing your life helping you in growing in your relationship with Jesus? What does this mean to you - to have a relationship with God? What are you doing that deepens your relationship with Him?
How do you experience God? What do you need to do or redo to deepen your walk with God? What have you learned about God so far in your life? How has this changed your life?
Challenging Assignment: This week, get away in solitude, be still and listen, fast to focus your attention on Him, meditate upon His Word and then share with a friend what God is teaching you about . . . Himself.
