Kingdom Balance

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” -Matthew 4:17

Life in Christ is lived in a marvelously wonderful tension between points of balanced understanding.

For example: We are saved from sin’s penalty, death, and we are being saved from the efforts of sin to rule our flesh, and we will be saved from the presence of sin at Jesus’ Coming. This progression is crucial to understanding life in Christ.

Another essential balance point is seeing that God’s kingdom power is present now, and that yet it still will not be fully present until Jesus comes.
