What is the Christian's responsibility to this world? Is the Christian's responsibility simply, as the "Great Commission" suggests, to share the Good News of God's Kingdom to others, with the goal of making disciples of all nations and perhaps also, along the way, through acts of charity to help meet the material needs of human beings? In other words, is this the only justification for Christian engagement of the larger world? . Dean C.Curry
About This Quote

"What is the Christian's responsibility to this world?" If a Christian fails, it's because of a lack of faith. If a Christian succeeds, it's because of a strong faith.  If a Christian fails twice, it's because of a lack of faith. However, if a Christian succeeds three times, it's because of a strong faith. In the end, the only thing that matters is one's relationship with God and how one uses that relationship to shape the world.

There are no shortcuts to eternal life. There are no shortcuts to seeing God face-to-face or to having an intimate relationship with Him or to receiving His love and forgiveness.
