Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)
1. Because this Bible was written to give us purpose.
When we live with a biblical worldview we live with purpose.
The Gallup World Poll 2015 states 25% of people from 160 countries are living with purpose.
When people live with no purpose substance abuse and depression kick in.

Covet: to desire, take pleasure in.
Even the idea of the “American Dream” is demonically used to steal people's purpose.
We need to change our perspective when reading our Bibles.

-Teaching: refers to lifestyle. The word shows us how to live.
-Rebuking: allowing the Holy Spirit to convict our lives and repent of our sins.
-Correcting: to make straight again to restore.
-Training: giving proper instructions that trains us to reach full development.
Righteousness: right standing with God. Living in the Father’s will.
Fully equipped: to have everything we need to finish out our race.
Good work: to toil in good soil that produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)
