Eschatology may not be the most important doctrinal position, but it does greatly impact how we view the power and application of the Great Commission. Christ is the second Adam and as such he is carrying out the dominion mandate in a way that completely eclipses the work of the first Adam.
In this episode, we want to look at two particular areas where Christ’s dominion has shaped the world: the sense of shame for sin, and bringing order to the world.
When Christians fail to recognize the work of God in the world, they either end up calling good things evil or giving the credit for the good things they have received to something other than God. This is unbecoming of the people of God.
Christ’s has been given all authority, his Holy Spirit has been sent into the world to convict it of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (none of which are narrow in scope), and his servants go forth in the world every day, shining forth the light of God and constraining the sin around them. It is wicked and foolish to believe that his work has not accomplished great things. Please join us as we examine a small part of what Christ has done. May his church glorify Him, for He is great!
