That is the way we fulfill our purpose and find the deepest joy in life. But God has also created us in such a way that we can choose to live any way we want, other than the way God calls us to live. But even when we choose to live in some other way, God never gives up on us. God always has this open invitation for any of the kids to come to their senses, to come home, and to be welcomed back. We are also free to choose not to do that, but God is always inviting us, always welcoming us back into this relationship.
Evangelism is really a series of invitations.
It is an invitation first into that relationship, but then, it is an invitation into a life-long spiritual journey of growing and changing. It takes the better part of a lifetime to grow fully into an understanding of the Christian faith. In a very real sense, the Christian faith is a radically different way to look at this world. Faith is a set of spectacles through which we see with the clear focus that God intends. By faith we know that the greatest joy comes to those who strive to be peacemakers rather than those who just talk about peace.
