The Ethic of Anticipation
Our lives are not a waiting room for eternity… granted they are brief and not always altogether pleasant, but they are not meaningless, nor is the way we ought to live them up for grabs. If we are in Christ, then we have been raised up to and for new life.
So then, how ought we to live and why? This is the rub… there is not only confusion over some of the things we should and shouldn’t be about. For example, how much should a Christian give? What does it mean to forgive like Jesus did? Is it okay to _________?
We’ve got more questions than we do answer. And, there is also the question of why? Why does it matter? If God will be the One setting us and the world around us to rights through His grace and power and our “ticket is punched,” then what good are rules about how to live anyway? And, isn’t grace opposed to the law? Who needs laws when grace leads the way?
What does it mean to live Christianly, and why does it matter?
