Aprašymas
The idea of salvation by faith is a dangerous proposition directly traceable to St. Paul and his legacy: “For by grace are you saved through faith ... not by works” (Ephesians 2:8-9). That proposition has convinced generations of Christians that, if they only had a little faith, things would get better and wrongs would be righted. The state of salvation is what the New Testament calls the rule of God. Luke quotes Jesus as saying that God’s rule is right there in your presence, suggesting that human beings have at hand the wherewithal to save themselves and their environment, that salvation is initiative whereby which human beings may act, in the here-and-now, to save their planet from the killing scourge of degradation and their societies from violence-producing economic and social injustice.
