God sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to establish His Kingdom on earth in His grace and love. through His death on the cross, Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself to rescue us from the tyranny of Satan and the damaging consequences of our sins. Then, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead in glory as our King. God now calls everyone, through faith and repentance, to make Jesus Lord of their lives and to follow Him into His death, burial, and resurrection – baptism. As citizens in God’s Kingdom, we play an active role in ushering the Kingdom of God on the earth, just as it is in Heaven.
