We are called to no longer live the way we did before we came to Christ, but now by the renewing of our mind by God’s Word we are to put off our old way of thinking, attitudes and living.
God has graciously gifted the church, so that by His enabling it can grow into the fullness of Christ and fulfill its mission of filling the earth with the glory of Christ.
The church is to declare to the heavenlies the beautiful diversity of the gospel that brings Gentiles and Jews together in the church showing that God is wise.
