We often limit our view of God’s intent for His creation.
Specifically, we assume God is happy for us to build an alternative culture within our family or church…
But His desire goes far beyond that—He wants the whole world.
The Bible reveals God’s plan to make the entire earth into His City.
This vision is seen in:
– The Dominion Mandate, where God commands us to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it (Gen. 1:28).
– His charge to cultivate, keep and expand the garden (Gen. 2:15, 19).
– Jesus’s focus on the Kingdom of God (Mt. 3:2).
– The Great Commission, where He calls us to disciple the nations (Mat. 28:18-20).
– And the final vision of the New Jerusalem coming down to earth in Revelation (Rev. 21-22).
Once you catch the Bible’s vision for the world, it changes how you see everything.
You think bigger…
And become much freer to engage the world for the sake of God’s kingdom.
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Mt. 6:10).
