Shouldn't we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the old way [under the law], which bring condemnation, was once glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 2 Corinthians 3: 8-10
Life's questions - determining the answers for who we are and what we should do - often revolve around the wrong theme. What if life's questions revolved around God? (not the church and its rites and rituals)
What was God's purpose for creation?
What was God's purpose for me?
What does God intend for this day?
How do I get involved with those intentions, both externally in the world and internally in me?
What does God want me to become?
How can I move towards that "becoming"?
How can I "be" in him, for him, of him?
God's good intentions are for this "new way," a "good" way that new definitions:
1) communities of belonging for all
2) personal experience of belonging with God and his people
Life's big questions usually revolved around me. NO. Time to ask the questions of life with God in mind. That would be glorious!
