In every biblical illustration of conversion,
there is a mission attached.
No one is converted
for exclusively personal benefit.
This may be why we have to lose our lives
in order to find them.
The purpose of conversion in the Bible
is not our spiritual self actualization
but Christ’s mission.
從聖經裡我們可以看到，
當神帶給人『轉變』、一定也有『使命』跟著。
沒有一個人的『轉變』只是單單帶來人的好處與祝福，
這也是為什麼耶穌說人要喪失生命、才能得著生命。
在聖經中，『轉變』的目的不是屬靈上的『自我實現』，
而是基督所要賦予我們的『使命』。
