Our purpose:

To be conformed to the image of Christ

To hear the words “well done good and faithful servant.”

2 Timothy 4:6-8 - “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day…”
