The Church: Called to Display The Glory of God

In reading the Scripture we know that the task of the church is to display the glory of God to the world. This sounds like a clear answer until one begins to consider how one goes about doing this. How do we as individuals display the glory of God? What does it mean to display the glory of God? John Piper defines the displaying of the glory of God as holy perfection going public. I believe this is where the church misses the mark. No one would deny that we are to make Christ known to a lost world, nor that we are to display the glory of God.
The problem arises in that many Christians believe that these tasks are accomplished through our worship services. While it is true that our worship services must display the glory of God and should definitely magnify His Name; this is not what is meant by "holy perfection going public." I think what God has in mind is more in keeping with the statement of Jesus that we are to ". . . let your lights so shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven" (Matt. 5:16).
The church is made up of baptized believers. Each one of us make up the church. If we are to display God's Glory then we must each take the holy perfection, that has been imputed to us through the blood of Jesus Christ, public. We must start walking worthy of our calling as Christians. We are called to be set apart, holy, different from everyone else. The church must begin living out the faith we profess. Its time for the church to take God's Holy Pefection public by walking in the Word and living our lives in such a way that the world sees Jesus in us. Our world has yet to see the glory of God manifested by His Church. Now is the time! The church must rise up and walk in holiness so that the glory of God will shine and the world will magnify the Father.
