Your purpose is pre-ordained

Identity given by God (Uniqueness, Individuality, Character, Distinctiveness)

We are God’s creation

Fellowship with other believers

Hebrews 10:24,25 - And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I Thessalonians 5:11 - Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Restoration to Christ, non-judgemental; BUT always standing on the Word
