Part 2: A Far More Abundant God
God is greater than any human adjective can describe, so sometimes His people have to multiply their adjectives. In this doxology, Paul wants us to know that God is able to do far more than we can imagine, so we should never limit Him. We’ll talk about how our church is doing: We’ll praise Him for our victories and call on Him for our challenges.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
