So also, a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary is honored not just for living together so long without killing each other. They are honored for the sacrifices each made to be married for 50 years. Faith demands that we take that journey of sacrifice that leads to glory. It demands that we separate ourselves from our own selfish desires in order to give to others. This is the glory of the Christian.
Faith is never just words or formulas.
Faith is a way of life. A journey to a goal. A journey of sacrifice. A journey to share the Lord's glory.
