We Are All On A… (1 Peter 1:17)
And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges everyone according to their work, so that you can pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence.
"And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges everyone according to their work, so that you can pass the time of your sojourning here in reverence:" – 1 Peter 1:17 (KSB)
This passage reminds us that life is a sacred journey. We are temporary travelers -sojourners-passing through this world with purpose, accountability, and reverence. God, who judges impartially, calls us to live with intention and integrity as we navigate our spiritual path. Understanding this truth helps us move through life with clarity, purpose, and holy awareness.
1. We Are All on a Love Journey
Every person is journeying toward the realization that God is love, and that love is the essence of all existence. This journey invites us to embrace divine love in both the light and the shadows, our strengths and our struggles, our joys and our challenges. It is a lifelong practice of cultivating love in thoughts, words, and actions. We grow in compassion and forgiveness for ourselves, learning to see ourselves as God sees us. We also begin to recognize the divine image in every person around us, treating all as siblings in the human family. This journey shapes our mindset, elevates our behavior, and expands our capacity to live in love daily.
2. We Are All on a Wholeness Path
The goal of the soul is wholeness. God desires every part of us spirit, soul, and body to operate in harmony and alignment. This path is not about temporary healing or emotional relief; it is about restoration, integration, and completeness. The wholeness path calls us to forgive, seek support, embrace healing, and grow intentionally. Life’s challenges become teachers pointing us toward deeper maturity. Wholeness manifests as healthy relationships, soundness of mind, physical well-being, and spiritual vitality. It requires active participation as we lean into God’s desire to make us whole and flourishing in every area of life.
3. We Are All on a Kingdom Voyage
This voyage is a spiritual progression into the reality of God’s kingdom within us and through us. It moves us beyond religious routine into dynamic relationship, revelation, and transformation. The kingdom voyage is a life-long adventure of discovering deeper truths about God, about us, and about our purpose. It involves entering the kingdom, inheriting the kingdom, and manifesting the kingdom through character, service, love, and spiritual growth. This voyage pushes us away from complacency and into divine empowerment. Wherever we go, the kingdom becomes visible through how we live, love, and serve.
Life is always moving spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Every thought, word, and action contributes to our progress on the love journey, the wholeness path, and the kingdom voyage. Challenges, lessons, and opportunities propel us forward. Nothing is wasted; there are no mistakes only learning moments that shape our development. Since this earth is not our final home, but a temporary place of sojourning, we commit ourselves to continual growth toward love, wholeness, and kingdom living.
This teaching calls us to live intentionally, refusing stagnation and embracing movement. As we walk this journey, we reflect God’s impartial character and embody His transformative presence in every step of our spiritual voyage.
