Under the threat of Saul, David decides to move to the land of the Philistines and live in exile. Like David, Christians today find themselves in exile, living in the world, while not being of the world. But rather than being passive bystanders, Christians are to actively live the Kingdom Life even in exile. And Christians faithfully live as exiles in the world by: carrying out the mission of God, maintaining the character of God, pursuing strength and guidance from God, and providing for the people of God.
