God has five primary purposes for your life:
1. WORSHIP: “Love God with all your heart” – You were planned for God’s pleasure, so your purpose is to love, worship and praise your God to His glory.
2. EVANGELISM: “Go and make disciples” – You were made for a specific mission and that is to spread the gospel of Christ to all the nations of the earth in order to save souls.
3. MINISTRY: “Love your neighbor as yourself” – You were shaped for serving others as Jesus also served as an example for you to follow. Caring for others shows your love.
4. FELLOWSHIP: “Baptize them into…” – You were formed for God’s family, so your purpose is to identify with fellow believers as part of the body of Christ, His church.
5. DISCIPLESHIP: “Teach them to do all things” – You were created to become like Christ, so your purpose is to grow in spiritual maturity and glorifying God by your deeds.
