Who Are We in Christ Jesus?
I am fully persuaded and convicted that our God, is a God of purpose who has created us, on purpose, for a purpose. For example, the various aspects of creation were purposefully made – like the sun for the day and the moon for the night. The creation of humanity is no different. Genesis 1:26 tells us that God first thought about how to create humanity. Then God fashioned us in God’s own image and gave us the purpose of being stewards over all the earth. Verse 28 elaborates on humanity’s purpose, saying we should be fruitful and multiply.

One of the devastating things that distorts our society, is the social class differences that exist amongst people of all nations. Some are very rich; some are just able to meet life’s needs. And, others are, by all standards, very poor. And, as a result of their poverty, they are despised by their community.
