John 15:5

喜びと目的に満ちた生き方は、人間関係、愛、信仰を土台とします。自分の人生のために神が計画されていることをよりはっきりと知りたいと思うなら、その計画に関わって、自分の追求と発見の焦点を定めましょう。デビッド・J・スワント氏の「この世から離れて：キリスト者の成長と目的ガイド」から引用しました。

Jesus Himself said anyone who loves Him will obey His teaching. No matter what it costs us personally, our obedience matters to God. The "Obedience" reading plan walks through what the Scriptures say about obedience: How to maintain a mindset of integrity, the role of mercy, how obeying frees us and blesses our lives, and more.

This life is marked by a single choice: who or what will we center our lives around? This choice takes each of us down a path of decisions that shape who we are, what we feel, who or what we value, and what we will have accomplished at the end of our days. To center our lives around ourselves or the things of this world leads only to destruction.
