The five purposes of a purpose-driven life You were made to live a purpose-driven life! 1 Worship: You were planned for god's pleasure! After all this, there is only one thing to say. Have a reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for. Ecclesiastes 12:13 2 Fellowship: You wew formed for a family! It was a happy day for him when he gave us our new lives, through the truth of his Word, and we become, as it were, the first children in his new family. James 1:18 3. Discipleship: You were created to become like Christ! God knew what he was doing from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his son. The Son stands forst in the lone of humanity restored. We see the original and intended shape of our ives in him. Romans 8:29 4. Ministry: You were shaped for serving God! We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 5. Evangelism: You were made for a mission! Jesus said,"Go and make desciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, the very end of the age" Matthew 28:19-20 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stmp; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Prvorbs 11:28 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit. jeremiah 17:7-8
