Know
Christ deeply
Most men find their identity in what they accomplish, their
titles or positions. Our lives are spent trying to prove our
competence while living in constant fear that we will someday
be found out and exposed. But what if our lives were based
not on what
we did but
on who
we know?
The Bible's perspective is that knowing Christ is both our
greatest privilege and our greatest challenge. God has put
within the heart of every man the desire to know Him. The
desire may be masked by the callousness of indifference, the
cloud of sin or the compulsion of busyness. . .but it is
there.
Reflect Christ authentically
Historically church leaders have agreed that the primary
purpose of our lives is to glorify God. But glorifying God is
not in its essence, the common practice of singing worship
songs or thinking mystical thoughts. We glorify God as we
reflect his revealed nature through our everyday, go to work
lives. We reflect Christ as we are transformed in character,
values, beliefs and behavior. This inside out transformation
fits our new identity in Christ and makes us authentic. We
are becoming who we really are.
Reproduce Christ intentionally
God's plan is to reach people through people. We are like
links in a chain. Each spiritual generation is a link to the
next. In
Matt 4:19
Jesus said, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men".
Following Christ naturally leads to fishing for men. "Fishing
for men" (spiritually investing in others) is our part in
adding new links to the spiritual chain. God's strategy for
reaching people with the good news of his love is through
people.
