QUOTE - Michael Reeves

“For what makes Christianity absolutely distinct is the identity of our God. Which God we worship: that is the article of faith that stands before all others. The bedrock of our faith is nothing less than God himself, and every aspect of the gospel – creation, revelation, salvation – is only Christian insofar as it is the creation, revelation, and salvation of this God, the triune God.”

QUOTE - Kevin DeYoung

“The “will not” or the “can not” is because the new age of the Spirit cannot begin until Christ completes His work through His death, resurrection, ascension, and exaltation. In other words, the inauguration of God’s reign begun by Christ will be completed by the Spirit, but only after that work of Christ on earth is finished. So He says, “Once I go, once My work is done, then My Spirit can come.” In a paradoxical way, then, it’s better off that Jesus has left.”
