God's objective in our lives is to produce His glory, and the pathway into that glory is holiness. The two main channels through which our lives can produce the glory of God are our priesthood and the witness of our lives. 

The privilege of priesthood and witness rests on the grace of God, and the effectiveness of them in our lives rests on the formation of the holy character of God in us. To be holy therefore is to be saturated with God - to be consumed by the influence of the life within us.

Our hope is that we'll find the beauty and joy for which we were saved and that our lives will be effective channels of revealing the glory of God to a world in darkness.
