The Pathfinder Aim states ‘The
Advent Message to all the world in my generation’. The Motto states ‘For the
love of God constrains me’ and the Pledge states ‘By the grace of God, I will
be pure kind and true, I will keep the Pathfinder Law, I will be a servant of
God and a friend to man’.
The Aim is what you as a
Pathfinder should strive towards. It is what every child of God needs to focus
on. Whatever you do and say, you need to be driven by this Aim. Your actions
should speak louder than words and should reflect your mission of ensuring that
the message of the 2nd coming of Christ is known by everyone you
come across.
The motto is a reminder of why
you aught to be a loyal and faithful servant of God. God loved you so much that
even though you sinned against him, He saw it befitting to send His One and
Only sinless Son to come and die so you can have a second chance to eternal
life. Because of such love, you are constrained to do good to others and even
though you feel that people are ungrateful of your goodness and kindness, the
love of God is the Only reason you need to continue. His love has and will
never fail you.
The interesting thing about the
Pledge is in its introduction- ‘By the grace of God’…. In other words, your
kindness and purity and even keeping the Law is not a result of your own doing,
it is through the grace of God. Our good works are like ‘filthy rags’ (Isa.
64:6) in the sight of God and it is through the imputed righteousness of Christ
that we too can live righteous lives. So never boast about your good deeds, all
exaltation should be directed to God.
