More Random Thoughts of Evangelism
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : January 19, 2006
The reason that Jesus created a Body…a group of new humanity to
continue his work…is that we should EMBODY the Gospel, enfleshing the
patterns and rhythm of the Christ-life. Evangelicalism misses this,
because we have a semi-gnostic core that misses the importance of
ecclesiology and the need for a patterned life. Our Gospel is abstract
and timeless. Our core doctrines are void of context.
As Christ patterned life, being the form of humanity, he saved us.
And so, conversely, by patterning the Christ-life in our new humanity,
we bring salvation to others.
