Key to answering these questions is the simple but profound truth that we must be the people of God before we do the work of God.

Other great religions emphasize a philosophy of life, moral teachings, spiritual disciplines, or techniques...By contrast, Christianity focuses on Jesus. It announces the appearance of a flesh and blood person who perfectly embodied his own teachings, actually forgave his enemies, and willingly offered himself on a cross."
