If children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. Rom8.17 ESV
For every child of God, the concerns of His Kingdom are now the Family business. God has given us ownership in His kingdom by adopting us into His family. As sons and daughters He expects us to advance His concerns in the world as we would our own. What are His concerns? Well justice and mercy are two that come to mind but the foremost concern of His kingdom is simply that we enjoy, exhibit and express the value of knowing and loving Him through faith in His Son, Jesus. All that God has ever desired for us is that we experience the supreme worth of living under His goodness and that is most clearly evidenced in the gift of Christ. Evangelism is declaring to the nations, and more specifically to my neighbor, the good news that if we accept the gift of forgiveness offered in Christ, the Father will accept us as sons and daughters and this of course makes us heirs of the Family business. 7/3/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
