What is our future?

Until we see this as the future of our church and fight to prevent that, this is our future.
Until we see our relationship with Jesus as more important than our selfish desires, this is our future.
Until we see others' relationship with God as our business, this is our future.
Until we stop believing that we are the center of the universe, this is our future.
Until God is the center of our universe, this is our future.
Until we see our commitment to the church as a direct reflection of our relationship with Christ, this is our future.

Ephesians 5 when discussing marital relations, gives us a glimpse of Jesus' relationship with us, the church:

• ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

Are we radiant? without blemish? blameless?
