The main idea of this information is that as Christians, we are called to let our light shine and show God's presence through our good works. This applies to both individual believers and the Christian community as a whole. The presence of God is promised to the church and should be revealed through its life. Walk in God's presence. Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Every Christian's task, therefore, is to let the light that dwells in them shine out and be the sign of God's presence among people. If the good work of the individual believer has this characteristic, the Christian community in the midst of the world must also have this same specific function, to reveal through its life the presence of God, who manifests Himself wherever two or three are united in His name—a presence promised to the church until the end of time. By Carol Lubick from The Word of Life of August, 1979.
