The gospel frees us from the relentless pressure of having to prove ourselves, for we are already proven and secure.
Timothy KellerGod's Kingdom is "present in its beginnings, but still future in its fullness. This guards us from an under-realized eschatology (expecting no change now) and an over-realized eschatology (expecting all change now). In this stage, we embrace the reality that while we're not yet what we will be, we're also no longer what we used to be.
Timothy KellerGod takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
