…

1. Excluding Ourselves from the World

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

2. Visiting and Encouraging the Lost4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep

and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Luke 15:4-7

3. Obeying God’s Commandment

If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

Job 36:11

4. Loving the Lord Wholeheartedly

Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.‘

Matthew 22:37

But more often, we are doing the opposite things rather than fulfilling what God wants us to do.

It seems like we do love going back to what/ where all has started.

Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. (NLV)
