It’s not about you.

The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Purpose No. 3

From the very beginning, God’s plan has been to make you like his son, Jesus.

MY 3rd PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO

Discipleship is the process of becoming more like Christ. God doesn’t just want you to know about Jesus, he wants you toBECOME LIKE JESUS.

God doesn’t want you to become a god; he wants you to become godly – taking on his values, attitudes and character.[We] � will never become God, or even a god. That prideful lie is Satan's oldest temptation.

RESPONSIBILITIES IN BECOMING LIKE CHRIST

Third, put on the character of Christ by developing godly habits.Habits - good or bad, define who we are. Aristotle had this to share about habits: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Habits are acquired behavior, which are repeated over and over and over.

Habits of holiness or spiritual disciplines as they are sometimes called, are not, however, the mere product of human strength and desire. Godly habits are initiated, carried on, and matured through the sanctifying work of the Spirit who indwells us. They are the fruit of the Spirit, but they are worked out in our lives—not as erratic psychological and sudden impulses, but growing, settled dispositions and attitudes, showing forth and leading to the transformation of character. We are to cooperate with the Spirit in striving to see these traits developed in us.
