In Pro Rege, Abraham Kuyper shows how the kingship of Christ affects all areas of life, building upon the work he began in Common Grace. For this Dutch theologian, politician, journalist, and educator, it was nonsense to distinguish between Christian life inside and outside the church. If Jesus is indeed King of creation, he should be honored as such; his authority must be advanced in all spheres, both sacred and secular. In his view, seeing Jesus as King is foundational to bridging the gap between the believer’s life inside the church and outside the church.
