…what is the minimal set of essential truths central to my understanding of who God is; things so foundational to my thinking that I literally can’t imagine life without them. Or, more bluntly, what are the issues I (in my presumption) think we ought to be spending our time studying.
Here's my list, in no particular order.
Mark 10:45 - "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Colossians 1:27 - "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Micah 6:8 - "He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
Isaiah 53:6 - "We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all."
Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Philippians 3:12 - "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
I have to tag others too. So, let's hear from Kale, Amanda, Brent, Chris, and Cindy. Leave a comment here to let me know you've posted, I'm interested in reading yours. And don't forget to tag someone new!
