We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Humans do not bring in God's reign, build God's kingdom, hasten its final consummation, or hinder its advance. Jesus' preaching announces that God is in action and that one's ultimate well-being is tied to what God is doing, not what they are doing. They can only receive it and enter it or reject it and be swept away in judgment.
