Summary
Through the coming, death, and resurrection/exaltation of the Messiah Jesus, God has graciously determined to rescue humanity from the powers of Sin and Death, thereby creating a forgiven, liberated, and reconciled people: the community of the new creation and new covenant. By faith and baptism, and through the work of God’s empowering, indwelling Spirit, people may participate in this saving, transformative event and thus live “in Christ,” experiencing the fullness of life with God and others for which they were created, in anticipation of the restoration of the entire creation.
