Jesus Ushered in His Kingdom
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
Christ came to take authority over the earth, to rule and reign until he has put all things under His feet.
As God exercises authority in Heaven, His saints carry it out on earth.
It is not just winning souls; it is decipling entire nations.
Jesus said, “If I drive out daemons by by the spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.”
God is establishing His kingdom on earth.
Matt. 28:18-20
"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
It is Neo-Platonic Greek dualism that dichotomizes all things into sacred and secular. That is gnostic.
To the believer all things are holy and must be honoring to God, whether voting, worshiping God, raising your children, education, Business, running for civil office, history, law, etc.
