We love to make up a bunch of rules locking off the Kingdom of God—making it part of our personal culture and heritage and denying access to anyone from outside our group. And yet we cannot even comprehend this God that we serve, much less condense the totality of our experience of him into a list of rules and behaviors.
We must extend the Kingdom of God in the same grace of adoption which we encountered when we once stood outside looking in. Freely you have received; now freely give.
