We believer's are to live out the purpose of our lives in Christ. Even when misunderstood and faced with hostility because we live under King Jesus rule, ready to always testify of Jesus Christ, living by faith for Christ through false accusations made against us. Having an intimate, personal relationship with God, knowing God as the right path to peace and grace. To those who have received and possess [by God’s will] a precious faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace [that special sense of spiritual well-being] be multiplied to you in the [true, intimate] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. (2 Peter 1:1-2) Following the example of Christ should bring unity, harmony, and mutual love among believers.

And this is the word [the good news of salvation] which was preached to you. (1Peter 1:25) This is the word that conceived the new life in us, a life conceived by God himself. We can live by placing our faith in Christ and believing in His word.

If in fact you have [really] heard Him and have been taught by Him, just as truth is in Jesus revealed in His life and personified in Him. You have certainly heard his message and have been taught his ways. You were taught to change the way you were living.(Ephesians 4:20-22) Put off your old self and put on the new self. We are not to live as other people do. Something far better is expected of us. We have come out from the world, and we are to show the world an example of heavenly life. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live life filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do. Taking paths which He set, so that we would walk in them. ( Ephesians 2:10) The salvation of others are at stake for our willingness to endure all things for the sake of the gospel; standing strong in our faith, with a reliance on the written word of God. Remain calm and patiently endure affliction. Focuing on the calling, spiritual priorities of the ministry, God's word, training in godliness, and a mission-minded approach to ministry. Heralding the gospel and leading the unsaved to faith in the Son; the God-given duties.

So we should be willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen. (2Timothy 2:10)

We seek God first by remembering that our approval comes from Him. We accept what Jesus did on the cross for us, and we put Him first when we seek to live out our calling He has for us. We say yes to God above and before anything else. Righteous acts of devotion should be done for the right reason, they should be done to please our Heavenly Father. He also instructed His disciples to seek first to build the kingdom of God. But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness, His way of doing and being right--the attitude and character of God. (Matthew 6:33)
