Episode notes
Kingdom Is Present Now
- The kingdom of God is present and available now, not merely a future event to wait for.
- You find it by trusting Jesus and acting on his message, which makes the kingdom experientially real.
Reigning Is Restored Purpose
- Those who receive abundance of grace will 'reign in life' through Christ, meaning govern for good.
- Reigning is the restored purpose of human life under God's kingdom, not domination by fear or death.
Genesis Starts With Fish
- Willard humorously says Genesis 1.26 starts with 'fish,' linking human dominion to everyday life.
- He uses this image to show our reign begins with stewardship of creation and practical responsibilities.
