Don Williams continues his excellent book,
Start Here, with a chapter on Life in the Kingdom. He starts this by noting how we too often constrain salvation to a past event ("I got saved") or a future hope (One day I will go to heaven").
... salvation at its core is our transfer from the kingdom of Satan into the Kingdom of God. ... In following [Jesus], we become like Him. We extend His ministry, planting cells (churches) of Kingdom people who live out His Kingdom life. In responding to His call, we also embrace His agenda.
This agenda is the beautiful and awesome invitation to become fishers of men. Drawing closer to Jesus includes drawing closer to people.
