[ 25 ]
CHAPTER
04
I will make the values of the Kingdom of God and not the values of the world the standard for my life.
IN THIS CHAPTER •
Soldiership cannot be fulfilled only in a personal and private relationship with God. It is a way of being and living in society that is a witness to our life in Christ.
•
The Kingdom of God refers to the rule or reign of God. It is with us ‘now’ and ‘not yet’.
•
There can be tension between Kingdom of God values and the values of our own culture. We are to challenge those values of society that do not bring life and hope.
•
As Christians we are sent into our culture as hearers and bearers of the good news of God’s Kingdom. Jesus shows us how.
