Living a Noble and Meaningful Life: Living for the Lord as Children of God

(2025.12.22 The Encouragement of the Holy Spirit)

The value of a person’s life is not measured by outward achievements, how much one possesses, or the praise and glory given by the world. What people define as value in this present age cannot last forever; it is vanity, subject to emptiness. When a person leaves this world, nothing gained in this life can be taken along. If, while still living, someone faces sudden storms, disasters, or drastic changes in circumstances, and begins to examine what they truly rely on, how much of it can really remain? When life’s value is defined by worldly success and wealth, it will not withstand the storms and trials of this life, nor will it stand in the judgment to come.

People often measure one another by worldly standards and achievements. But the children of God do not exalt people, do not cater to the world, and do not allow themselves to be controlled by the world’s viewpoints. These earthly measurements add no true benefit to life. Human eyes judge by outward appearance, which has no value before God. What truly matters is how God sees us, and striving to live a life that God considers precious and valuable—a life that is pleasing to Him. Do not let your entire life be spent in fear and sighing, only to end in emptiness when life is over.

God created mankind in His own image and breathed into humanity the breath of life, making us living beings with a spirit, so that we may live and receive the noble identity of being God’s children—bearing the likeness of the Lord and living a life that reveals God’s glory. Human life does not exist by accident; it comes from God’s creation and salvation, and it unfolds within the purposes He has prepared, to carry out good works. Therefore, the purpose of living is not merely to eat, drink, marry, and carry on life, but to value spiritual life above all.

A person’s life is valuable because, through God’s salvation, they receive a heavenly and noble identity—the identity of being God’s children. It is because a life once defiled and dead in sin is given new and living life through God’s redemption. It is also because, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a lowly, defiled, sinful, and once rejectable life is transformed into a holy, beautiful, and precious one, becoming a vessel fit for God’s use. Each day, we should live within God’s will. Those who belong to God are His workmanship, created in Christ. The Lord has already prepared the path ahead—whom we will meet, where we should go, what we should do, and when—all that a person experiences throughout life is within God’s will. Just as with Paul’s life: he no longer lived for himself, but lived according to God’s will. He clearly understood that the value of life lies in obtaining an incorruptible crown, so he strove to fight the good fight for eternal life. He regarded what was entrusted to him as of utmost importance, placing the proclamation of salvation first. His life was completely lived for the Lord—laboring for the salvation of souls and doing all kinds of good works for the sake of entering eternal life and salvation.

May the children of God live out a noble and meaningful life. This nobility is not found in worldly status, but in the identity of being citizens of God’s kingdom. Let life become truly valuable—not living for oneself, but living for the Lord; striving for the eternal glory to be gained in the Lord, and laboring for the salvation of souls.

Scripture 

Ecclesiastes

Chapter 1 Verses 2–3, 11

“Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher,

vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

What profit hath a man of all his labour

which he taketh under the sun?

…

There is no remembrance of former things;

neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come

with those that shall come after.”

Romans

Chapter 12 Verse 1

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,

that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,

which is your reasonable service.”

Ephesians

Chapter 2 Verses 1–6, 8–10

“And you hath he quickened,

who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past

in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;

and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

…

For by grace are ye saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works,

which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Ecclesiastes

Chapter 12 Verses 12–14

“And further, by these, my son, be admonished:

of making many books there is no end;

and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God, and keep his commandments:

for this is the whole duty of man.

For God shall bring every work into judgment,

with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
