Colossians 1:10

That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Our first goal as Christians is to learn what pleases the Lord. We are to be imitators of Jesus on this earth. We learn how to do that when we read the bible. When we do this, we start to plant a good seed of faith that we learn from God. We then bear fruit in our lives, relationships, and every good work we do. God then reveals more and more to us as we draw closer to Him.
