16-The Kingdom of God

Kim continues explaining Romans 8 and two more key concepts: union with Christ and the first-fruits of the Spirit. What does Paul mean when he says we are "in Christ"? The Kingdom of God is a current reality, but it doesn't come as we expect; it is a spiritual reality, rather than a physical one. Like a mustard seed, it is currently growing and expanding. It will eventually cover the whole earth in its fullness and completeness.

Theologian Kim Burgess likens systematic theology to dissection and biblical theology to vivisection. While both methods seek to understand what the Bible is saying, one works in bits and pieces, while the other works to understand the Bible as an organic whole. Traditional evangelical interpretations are too often informed by the dissection method and less by vivisection.
