We are not called into the Kingdom to do our own thing – to relax and enjoy the benefits for ourselves. God calls us onto a pathway of life – life and blessing for us and for our neighbours. He wants us to willingly follow that path and live. He also wants us to invite others onto the same pathway of life. He wants his word to light the way for us and for everyone who walks in the light with him. When we walk our own way we are quickly divided and the Purposes of the Lord (central to who we are) are easily lost. We forget that we do not exist for ourselves, that as the body of Christ we are here to seek for and to save the lost.
That’s our purpose. Walking in the light of God equips and enables us all the more the shine and share God’s mercy and love.
