I'm a wretch, who, by His glorious grace, has been adopted by the God of the universe. Praise Jesus from coming in the flesh and dying on the cross for the sins of the world to redeem fallen humanity to God. I'm seeking God in all I do, trying to be led by the Spirit-- seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness.
Before we get to the kingdom, we have to go through the cross… There is no kingdom without the cross… Sin is the problem an it must be dealt with. Jesus comes to go to the cross, to deal with our sin, so te kingdom of God might begin in our life… And then we venture together as the people of God, toward the kingdom of God, and through our own death, we experience resurrection and new life, as totally redeemed new people on the new earth…
Mark Driscoll, “The Coming of the Kingdom”
