Be a Part of What Lasts - Daily Hope with Rick Warren - May 27, 2025
Living a life that brings glory to God requires embracing His kingdom, power, and purpose. By joining the family of God and sharing the Good News of Jesus with others, individuals can find fulfillment and contribute to the enduring legacy of Christ's church.
“To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever! Amen.”Ephesians 3:21 (GNT)
You will never find fulfillment in life until you begin to live in God’s kingdom, by God’s power, and for God’s glory.
You can put God’s glory on display by sharing the Good News of Jesus with everyone and by joining the family of God.
2 Corinthians 4:15 says, “As God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory” (NLT). God isn’t talking about bringing people to a religion or a church building. He’s talking about bringing people to a person—Jesus. And every time you share your faith, you bring glory to God.
Not only does sharing the message of Jesus with others bring glory to God, but also joining his family brings him glory. God’s family is called the church.
Ephesians 3:21, “To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever! Amen” (GNT).
The Bible says that one day there will be a new heaven and new earth. The only thing that’s going to last for eternity is his church.
A thousand years from today, if Earth is still spinning, there won’t be a Microsoft or a Hollywood scene. Most countries won’t even exist, because no earthly kingdom lasts forever. Even many of the things we love today will be gone.
But there will still be the family of God. God’s people last. God’s church lasts. It’s the only thing that’s going to last!
You need to find a local church family to love you and help you grow in biblical truth and knowledge. You need a spiritual family. You need a place where you can give and share your talents and benefit from the love and abilities of others. You need a place where you can bring somebody to hear the Good News about Jesus.
I make no apology in saying to you that joining a spiritual family may be the most significant thing you do in your life. Why? Because the church—God’s family—is going to outlast everything else.
