The King’s Rejection • The result of Adam’s rebellion is that our hearts are now rebellious toward God’s rule. “For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: ‘None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.’” 
 Romans 3:9–11, ESV

The King’s Reign Receive the love of the Father by coming under the kindly rule of Christ. “Many would have Christ their saviour, but not their prince; such as will not have Christ to be their king to rule over them, shall never have his blood to save them.” ~Thomas Watson

The King’s Reign Receive the love of the Father by coming under the kindly rule of Christ. “Though he be the Lion of the tribe of Judah for majesty, yet he is the Lamb of God for meekness. His regal rod has honey at the end of it. He sheds abroad his love into the hearts of his subjects; he rules them with promises as well as precepts.” ~Thomas Watson

The King’s Reign Stay under the kindly rule of Christ by returning love to the Father. “Eye the Father as love; look not on him as an always lowering father, but as one most kind and tender. Let us look on him by faith, as one that hath had thoughts of kindness towards us from everlasting … Let, then, this be the saints’ first notion of the Father,—as one full of eternal, free love towards them … ” ~John Owen
