Chapter 4 outlines the ways that connecting Christ's values to daily living should define the path toward Christian maturity. The way of Jesus connects the Christian to full dependence on the reality of this life revealed by the Spirit in the Bible. Building a life of faith requires daily commitment to hope beyond the limits of current challenges and circumstances, seeing the opportunities of the present in light of the rule and reign of Christ. Such living faith and abiding hope pulls the Christian to love the people, place, and time where Jesus calls the church to exist. The new life received by faith in Christ demands true justice, the protection of the weak, and patient restoration of life as God intended it to be.
