God reigns. And that is, indeed, good news for his people, and for all those who need a Savior. Because, if God reigns, then he can save sinners. And this reign of God simultaneously speaks of all the aspects of faith, growth, obedience, etc. that are implications of the gospel.JFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790656871518586516noreply@blogger.com
