“The point of your life is to point to Him.”
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
This saying is about putting the focus on God rather than ourselves. It suggests that our actions and choices in life should show kindness, love, and good values that reflect God’s teachings. Think about a famous teacher who inspires students to do their best. Those students then go out into the world and act in ways that honor what they learned, making the teacher proud and showing others the value of that teacher’s lessons. In the same way, people who believe in God should live their lives in ways that highlight their faith, like helping others, being honest, and showing love. Imagine you have a friend who always talks about how great another person is and even acts in ways that reflect what’s good about that person. By doing so, they illustrate and point others towards the qualities they admire. Similarly, by living in a way that embodies God’s teachings, people help point others towards God, making their life a kind of signpost directing people to faith. This way of living can encourage others to see the positive impact of faith and might inspire them to explore it themselves.
