A: It is in following that our Christianity becomes vital for individuals within the community. Groups do not follow Christ; individuals follow Christ. It is not “they” or “we” who follow, but “I.” The kingdom of God is never a pluralized call. We each embrace it alone or not at all. It is said that the Galileans followed, but they followed individually. Regardless of what the rest of the community does, each of us must singularly follow Christ. We need to adopt for ourselves the resolution of Jonathan Edwards:

Resolved: That every man should live to the glory of God.
Resolved Second: That whether others do this or not, I will.
