Nuggets from “An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith” by Dave Hunt – Taking an Eternal Perspective

God has an eternal purpose for our lives now and in the life we enter after death. Our passion should be to know and to fulfill that purpose, beginning here on this earth. One day very soon we will each stand before Him. What a tragedy to miss the very purpose for which we were created and redeemed!

You may say, “Yes, I want to be used of God, but I don’t know what He wants me to do.” OR, “I try to serve Him, try to witness for Him, and it all seems to come to nothing.”

Learn this: Before God can do much through you, He must do a great work in you. What counts most is not quantity but quality, not so much your outward effort but your motive within – the purity of your heart rather than your visible accomplishments or prominence with men.

Moreover, what seems much in time may be very little in eternity. It is not one’s talents or energy but the empowering of the Holy Spirit that produces genuine and lasting results: ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah:4:6). Trust God for the filling and empowering of His Spirit.
