God’s critical mission for us is to share the hope of Christ! That’s what people need, and we can’t stay spectators; we must change from consumers to contributors. We want someone else to do it for us – but no one else can. You yourself must prepare your mind (“gird up the loins of your mind” in KJV) your mind, and engage in this spiritual battle with discipline and sober-mindedness (1 Peter 1:13). God is building his church around the world, just as he said he would (Matthew 16:18) – and we are called to play a part. When his truth is revealed to us, we must adjust our lives accordingly. Each of us must become a doer of the word, not just a hearer only (James 1:22).
