Background: The article discusses the role of the story with the intention of better understanding and rethinking our understanding of Christian identity. It argues that this identity is based on God’s story in the world and with the world when the disciples of Jesus Christ strive to embody this story and further develop it creatively via the imagination. In the light of this argument, Christian discipleship aims towards the quality of life transformed by the power of the Spirit, and thus elevated to a truly human level. Being a Christian, therefore, ultimately means being human. Conclusion: The conclusion presents four broad areas relevant for practical implications for the church in mission, which the author briefly analyses. At the same time, these areas provide additional potentially interesting topics to discuss in-depth as well as new inspiring research for scientists and professionals who are active not only in the field of theology within Christian denominations, but also in the field of other sciences that focus on human beings and seek to elevate their dignity, values, and quality of life.
