About Christian UK?
The
first point of the Christian UK message is that God is
in charge of the world. He is the ruler, the supreme
president, the king. Unlike human rulers, however, God
always does what is best for his subjects. He is the
kind of king you’d like to be ruled by.
God
rules the world because he made the world. Like a potter
with his clay, God fashioned the world into just the
shape he wished, with all its amazing details. He made
it, and he owns it.
Christian UK and God
He
also made us. God created people who were something like
himself, and put them in charge of the world—to rule it,
to care for it, to be responsible for it, and to enjoy
all its beauty and goodness. He appointed humanity to
supervise and look after the world, but always under his
own authority, honoring him and obeying his directions.
A
Christian UK can see this represented in the
illustration above: God is the ruler (the crown) and
humanity is created to live in and rule God’s world
under God’s loving authority.
It
all sounds rather ideal—God in heaven, people ruling the
world according to his directions, and everything right
with the world. But everything is very obviously not
right—with us or the world. More about the Christian UK |
