My Attack of Christianity Part III

The Commision

So I've been telling you all about what we're not supposed to be doing, or what we've misinterpretted right?   Well here is what the bible says we should do.

First and foremost, we are called to be lovers to the world.  Notice the bolded to, it doesn't say of, it says to.  If you have any questions about loving the world you can see most of my previous posts, its kind of a favorite topic of mine <:).   The second thing we are called to do is to spread the good News.  This seems like a simple task, but it is actually quite difficult, because everything we say is constantly under attack, and we have to be quick on our feet.  Finally we are told to be spots of light in this dark world.  

So what exactly does it mean to be a light to this dark world (the other two are either self explanitory or are tackled in other posts).  Well it means quite a few things.  Most people know the song/psalm (i think its in psalms) about God that goes something like "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  Well this is what we are called to do too.  You may be saying "Huh?  i thought that was talking about God?"  Yes it was, but remember also that we are the body of Christ so it falls onto our laps as well,  We nee to lead people to God and continue to help them until they are ready to lead others.  The next thing this means is that we are called to be moral towers to the world.  We need to hold ourselces to a higher standard, and though we will not meet it, that standard has to be perfection.  We have to strive to be like Christ in all we do, even if we are destined to not achieve that, it has to be our goal.  The final thing being a light to the world means that we have to be different.  People should notice that we are different.  And they will dislike us for it (buy a copy of "the irresistible revolution" to see a further description of why they will dislike us).

So we're told to spread the Good News, be a light to the world, and do both of those in unconditional love.  Sounds simple, but its not.  Its going to take a lot of work, and a lot of pain to do it.  But we have an all powerful and loving God on our side so, it can't be too bad.

Sorry about the lack of organization.  If you have any ideas for what i should do for the conclusion to this series let me know.  Please, i have no idea where i'm taking this to.

Until next time
