"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

God's Purpose
The purpose of Christ was to do the will of the Father, and He would not let anything get in the way of completing this purpose. This was His single purpose. His love for God made everything else less. Sin is the opposite, it is when we let something become more important that our love for God. His poverty did not matter, his pain, his suffering, his ridicule did not matter! He condemned pomp and pride! He loved the Father with everything. Christ calls us to humble ourselves and receive eternal life. The believer must also find their purpose in God in order to have continued unity through agreement with God! Everything else is false religion. Jesus Christ must be exalted above everything else. Christ did all for the will of the Father, we must join His purposes in this. Christ came to show us the Father and those who follow Him will be baptized in the Holy Spirit and purified by faith.
