God has allocated tremendous resources on our behalf. These resources enable us to live out the “divine nature.” We are – in our physical bodies – supposed to demonstrate God’s nature/personality to the world.
Since, the world is supposed to see God in us, we cannot sit still. We need to grow in Christ-likeness. We has chosen a faith that leads to salvation. We should now choose behavior that honors God. We should be good – not good that avoids the bad things only, but good that pursues good things: service, kindness and generosity. Then, we need to increase in knowledge, so we can agree with God. We should, in ourselves, live in agreement with God’s standards. We should continue pursuing with our actions and decisions a godly lifestyle in light of difficulties or troubles. It is in the fire that what an object is really made of comes to light. And that “material” really begins to shine. And we should demonstrate real love – love that is expressed within the family, and love that expressed outside the family. Consistent expression in these areas will, as the family of Jesus lives and functions together, generate fruit and disruption of the world system.
