It is a calling to do what only single men and women in Christ can do in this world, namely, to display by the Christ-exalting devotion of your singleness the truths about Christ and His kingdom that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage. As long as you are single, this is your calling: to so live for Christ as to make it clearer to the world and to the church 1. that the family of God grows not by propagation through sexual intercourse, but by regeneration through faith in Christ; 2. that relationships in Christ are more permanent; and more precious, than relationships in families; 3. that marriage is temporary and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along: Christ and the church – the way a picture is no longer needed when you see face-to-face; 4. and that faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life; all other relationships get their final significance form this. No family relationship is ultimate; relationship to Christ is.
