This chapter explores the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the foundation for hope in the Christian faith, discussing how it conquers all enemies and guarantees future resurrection to eternal life. It also emphasizes living in the tension of the already and not yet, longing for the full realization of redemption.
Throughout history, Christianity has profoundly impacted societies for the better, with Christians founding hospitals and adoption agencies and advocating for the poor and oppressed. Today, we may benefit from these Christian influences, but do we carry on their legacy? Are we contributing to the growth of Christianity, or are we growing out of it? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland point us to God’s work all around us, encouraging us toward a faith-centered life in the “already” as we anticipate the joy of the “not yet.”
