On one hand it speaks to the intentionality behind what we do... we are intentional and purposeful in the things we do. This is vital to following Jesus down this alternative path of living. When we talk about going against the norm and living according to an alternative way, that doesn't just happen by accident. We have to be disciplined, intentional and purposeful about the decisions we make. It takes hard work to live differently... do it on purpose!
On the other hand the phrase Living Life on Purpose also speaks to the idea of living toward the mission or purpose I was created for. The truth is God has created each one if us with a unique calling and has given us each unique gifts and personalities to fulfill the purposes he has for our lives. Ephesians 2 speaks of the salvation God has given us by grace alone and in verse 10 says, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, SO WE CAN DO THE GOOD THINGS HE PLANNED FOR US LONG AGO."
A big part of the challenge of learning to live this Alternative Lifestyle is discovering the purpose that God has for our lives and then making a decision to intentionally (purposefully) live according to it.
Will you live your life on purpose?
