Those who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are saved. But what happens after that? We are still stuck on this earth? What am I supposed to do?

The gift of eternal life does not free us from serving God and knowing more about Him. The main purpose of our being – to know Him and to make Him known. 

We can serve Him by using our talents and opportunities to minister to people. 

While eternal life is a free gift given based on God’s grace, each of us will still be judged by Christ. 

Matthew 16:27 (NIV)

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

The judgment referred to here is not regarding the salvation of our souls; instead, it is for our eternal rewards in heaven. 

God will reward us for how we have lived and acted on the opportunities that He has made available for us.  

But what if you have no idea what you are called to do?

Jesus tells us:

Matthew 6:33 (ESV)

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

If you are unclear about where you are called to serve, the chances are that it is right in front of you or around you. When we fix our eyes on God’s kingdom and serve for His glory alone, we will begin to clearly see His purposes in our lives. Try to be mindful of what gifts, skills, dreams, visions, and unique opportunities you have within your grasp and use that to serve God’s purpose. 

Lastly and most importantly, the Holy Spirit’s work allows us to be transformed daily into the image of Christ. So we have to spend time praying and reading His word enabling it to continually mold us and shape us into whom God wants us to be. 

The main purpose of our being – to know Him and to make Him known.
