Own the Splendor of Your Life
Because of the work of Christ for you and in you, you are now a revelation of God’s splendor, His image bearer. You are not simply an object of God’s forgiveness and tolerance, which is what most people believe about their lives. No, there is a brilliance, a magnificence to your life that you are to take responsibility for: the splendor of your life— not simply what has been taken away, but what has been given to you. C. S. Lewis said, “Redeemed humanity is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity.”
