We Are Working Together with God
You and I are a part of a movement unlike anything this world has ever seen. It began before, what the apostle Paul called, “the foundation of the world,” with God choosing to save us through His Son so that we might be “holy and blameless before Him” (Ephesians 1:4). He chose 12 men to follow Him and become His disciples. He promised them that He would “build [His] church” and that “the gates of Hades (death) [would] not overpower it” (Matthew 16:18).
That movement, which Jesus called His church, changed the world and continues to change it. Armies have not accomplished as much; neither have nations and governments. The kingdom of heaven has outlived every nation and kingdom which has ever existed and will continue to do so, because it is eternal. You and I sit here today as a part of this great kingdom, but our work is not over.
