Christians are also the light of the earth, bringing the beam of truth into a dark world, with an aim for all people to see the glory of God who is in heaven (Matt. 5:13-16).

The Christians must be involved in this battle, seeking to win souls unto the best news the world has ever heard. It is much better than a political philosophy. It is better than money or wealth.
