1. We are planned for God's pleasure.
2. We are formed for God's family.
3. We are created to become like Christ.
4. We are shaped for serving God.
5. We are made for a mission.
This is all about friendship, relationship with God, becoming best friends with God, and knowing how to connect and hear from God in a personal way. We bring great delight to God through our relationship with Him. We were not primarily created to serve God.
We were created to be part of the family of God, where we can belong, experience life together, restore fellowship, and work together. This is often called the Church but can take other forms too. Being in some community is vitally important to fulfil your purpose.
3. Created to become like Christ
Part of our mission is to transform our character to be more godly, to bring honour to Christ, and also to influence the world. We can often do more through our character than our works. Getting to grips with the Bible and allowing your lives to be transformed by difficult circumstances is also a key part of life.
Warren talks about understanding our shape and using the talents God has given us as part of our key purpose on earth. Thinking like a servant can help us focus on what God wants from our lives and not what we want. When we give we get more from life.
Living life with purpose entails finding out your mission in life. This is not just in terms of sharing Christ but also viewing the whole of life as a valid mission. We were made for purpose, and without this, life can become meaningless.
