Those who are outside of the Body of Christ, necessarily measure all things in relationship to themselves.  However once we are brought into the church through baptism, the reference point for all of our actions, words, and thoughts, becomes Christ.  From this point on, we are challenged to conform our lives more and more to Jesus.  This journey of Transformation into the image of Christ lasts through our entire life.  Christ is our beginning, middle, and end.
