To be a Christian is on the one hand Receiving the Benefit of Redemption but on the other hand Arriving at God’s Purpose of Creation.
Without Redemption there can be no Relationship with God.
But once Having Been Redeemed, we need to Consecrate ourselves to God so that His Original Purpose in Creating men might be Achieved.
If we only notice the Gospel, then that is only taking in half of the matter.
There is another half which God Desires; and that is, He Wants man to Drive Out Satan from this earth and to Rule Here For Him.
