and commit to working with Him to do so.

Purpose Acrostic

Pursue God’s will
Col. 3:1 So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

Understand and live by God’s ways.
Psalm 119:144 The way you tell me to live is always right; help me understand it so I can live to the fullest.

Repeat what you have learned to others.
2 Tim. 2:14 Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God's people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It wears everyone out.

Perfect love for one another.
1 John 4:12 No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!

Own your recovery
Deut. 4:5 Pay attention: I'm teaching you the rules and
regulations that God commanded me, so that you may live by them in the land you are entering to take up ownership.


Share it with others
Hebrews 13:16 Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of "sacrifice"—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.


Experience all God has in store for you.
1 John 1:6 If we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we're obviously lying through our teeth—we're not living what we claim.
