Love God with all your heart: You were planned for God’s pleasure, so your purpose is to love God through worship. Love your neighbor as yourself: You were shaped for serving, so your purpose is to show love for others through ministry. Go and make disciples: You were made for a mission, so your purpose is to share God’s message through evangelism. Baptize them...You were formed for God’s family so your purpose is to identify with his church through fellowship. Teach them to do all things: You were created to become like Christ, so your purpose is to grow to maturity through discipleship. [Join] a small group for accountability...We learn best in community. Our minds are sharpened and our convictions are deepened through conversation...Regardless of your age, the rest of your life can be the best of your life…
