The Justification and Kingdom of God series seeks to answer the question: “How can justified Christians in Jesus bear the fruit of faith, reflecting growth in God’s image?” To address this, the series helps readers understand what happens to the image-bearers of God in Adam or in Jesus Christ. This reveals the deeper meaning of the gospel and the restoration of God’s image, uncovering hidden treasures. Now, the challenge is whether the reader will accept these treasures.
The Kingdom of Faith asks a significant question: “What is the highest goal of your life?” The Bible teaches that this goal is the growth of God’s image within humanity, a promise that has never failed. A life conformed to the image of Jesus Christ brings great joy to humanity’s Heavenly Father and glorifies him. Such a life invites the help of the Holy Spirit and carries eternal value in Jesus. This book encourages readers to see earthly life as a precious opportunity to think, speak, and live in a way that loves God and one’s neighbor by faith. This reminds readers that "Our Father does far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us."
“In this careful and helpful study, Dr. Kang traces the path of salvation from the deep roots of faith to the budding fruit of righteousness, and, in doing, explains how God’s plan for humanity goes far beyond our expectations. God desires more than our individual forgiveness; he desires the full expression of the image of God in all humanity.”
—John Scott Redd Jr., Stephen B. Elmer Professor of Old Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington, D.C.
Praise for the first volume:
“This volume by Dr. Paul Kang is an achievement born out of his extensive work in theology and thoughtful meditation. While fully acknowledging the richness and fullness of the inscripturated word of God, he emphasizes that this word came to us with consistency and unity within the grand narrative of redemptive history. Additionally, the author deduces that the purpose of this salvation history is the kingdom of God, and he defines the kingdom of God as a kingdom established through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, based on the word of the covenant between God and man. This book is like a theological feast but not as a buffet menu. Instead, we have before us a full-course meal prepared by a fine chef. Bon appetite!”
—Sung-Il Steve Park, senior pastor, Jubilee Presbyterian Church, West Norriton, Pennsylvania
