“The key issue of discipleship is obedience, for without it no fundamental and lasting change takes place” (source)
“The kingdom is the dynamic rule or reign of God. The church is the community of the kingdom, but the kingdom is never identified as the church. The kingdom is God’s rule; the church is God’s people. The church is the community of the kingdom, not the kingdom itself. The church and the kingdom are inseparably linked, but they are not the same. The action of the kingdom creates the church, but the church does not produce the kingdom. Without the kingdom there is no church, and without the church there is no kingdom. But the two remain distinct realities: the rule of God and the fellowship of men.” (source)
“Entrance into the kingdom required a complete reorientation of values and priorities, for it was a call to life-changing discipleship.” (source)
“Such passages as these make it clear that entrance into the kingdom requires a complete change from the way the world views greatness and life. So different is God’s kingdom from human kingdoms that nothing less than conversion and rebirth through humble repentance and faith will gain us entrance. Good works—whether proper confession, mighty ministry, or religious position—are to no avail. All our ‘righteousnesses’ are as filthy rags (Is. 64:6).” (source)
“This redemption will include release from sin’s penalty and power, because the ransom price will be fully paid through Jesus’ death on the Cross. This redemption will also include release from Satan’s domination and deception, for, through death and resurrection, sin’s author—Satan—will be decisively defeated.” (source)
