Focusing on Christ

It's interesting how much of Christianity has become about us. While doing my bible study it asked me why I thought "God is so keenly interested that His children be well connected and dynamically united?" (Experiencing Christ Within by Dwight Edwards). The study went on to say that people usually think of first "is that our unity will help strengthen and encourage one another toward greater godliness, we view community primarily as a laboratory for our Christian development." (E.C.W. by Dwight Edwards). As I read this it struck me how much we think Christianity is about us (and I'm including myself in this). When really, Christianity has less to do with me and everything to do with God. Don't get me wrong, I think unity does help with growth and encouragement, but that's just a little bit of it. "God sees our community primarily as an exhibition, not a laboratory. Our Spirit-drenched oneness is the most important way His spectacularness is displayed on earth." (E.C.W. by D.E.) That's what it's about - that is what our lives are all about...displaying God's spectacularness. My life, my faith is all about Him. How I live, think and breathe either gives glory to God or focuses on myself. The Christian life is all about learning and giving glory to God and to God alone. I need to stop focusing on how I am giving glory to God and if my life is pointing others to Christ. My life here on earth is short and momentary - I want every second to count and to bring glory to the One who created me. He is the Creator of the universe. He is Omniscent, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent. He is the only one who deserves the glory and honor for His spectacularness. I wonder what would happen if we as Christians focused more on Him and less on us? I think God's spectacularness would shine all the more brightly and He would be glorified. I think that is how it should be...what do you think?
