There are times when the hectic pace of life can distract us from accepting and fulfilling our unique, God-given design. We then settle for a worldly identity that is woefully inadequate. A continual encounter with Jesus Christ will enable us to enjoy our healthy and fulfilling destiny that produces a lifestyle of purpose, grace, and peace.

Five Things is the practical, informative how-to guide that will:

• Explain how we are not “mistakes” or “afterthoughts” but are wonderfully designed by God to fulfill his specific redemptive plan
• Show how the forgiveness of sin we have in Jesus Christ gives us peace and freedom that lasts forever
• Illustrate our unique, God-given, lifelong purpose and identity in Christ
• Show how we have the ultimate assurance of God’s eternal provision and care
• Demonstrate how our fellowship in Christ produces the lifelong benefit of moral and spiritual wholeness
• Present how simple, ordinary people can live compelling lives that literally change the world

While we are waiting for the glorious return of Jesus Christ, let us take comfort in how God defines us in His Word. Then, we can celebrate the five germane characteristics He designed for us before we were born. What about you?
