“All these Psalms speak of Israel’s God as the one and only lord of the world, establishing his rule over the nations. They are not about individual human beings believing a dogma and so joining a religion, still less about people assenting to a proposition and so being saved. They are about the fact of God’s kingdom – or rather, the hope for God to become king by sweeping aside the pagan idols and the regimes that worship them, by establishing his chosen king, by returning in personal triumph and glory to Jerusalem, to the temple, to his people.” ~From N. T. Wright’s PAUL AND THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD bit.ly/18qgFyO
