In the rich tapestry of Christian theology, believers often find themselves navigating through the intricate intertwining of divine promises and earthly experiences. 2DAY1DAY seeks to demystify and delve into this journey, traversing through the paradigm of the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet’, elements inherent in the understanding of faith, hope, and the eschatological promises of Christianity.
Embarking upon the concept of 2DAY (a creative semblance to 'today'), we explore the 'already' facet of Christian belief. It is rooted in the potent reality that, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, sin has been defeated. Victory is not merely a future hope but a present reality for those who have anchored their faith in Christ. The already underlines a truth that believers live in a reality where the victory over sin and death has been secured, not by human endeavors but by the unparalleled sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
Conversely, 1DAY encompasses the 'not yet' aspect of our Christian walk. While the victory is won, the fullness of its experience is yet to permeate into our earthly existence fully. We anticipate a future where every tear will be wiped away, where sorrow and pain will be no more, and where all things will be made new in Christ. Until then, we reside in a period of awaiting, where the reality of suffering and evil is still palpable and the complete realization of God’s kingdom is yet to be unveiled.
Navigating through the 2DAY1DAY paradigm, Christians find themselves residing in the in-between times, ensconced between the realized promises of Christ’s resurrection and the anticipated fulfillment of divine eternity and peace. This dialectical existence can be perplexing, challenging believers to reconcile their experiences of present sufferings with the assurance of future glory.
How does one, then, align their lives, actions, and beliefs amidst this theological paradigm?
The mission of this blog is to explore, understand, and share insights into how Christians can embody a life that reflects the ‘already’ while patiently and hopefully navigating through the ‘not yet’. We dive into the profound journey of living in a world where believers are assured of the victory in Christ (2DAY) yet still anticipate the full realization of this victory in the future (1DAY).
In the midst of these in-between times, Christians are invited to participate with God in the unfolding narrative of redemption and re-creation. Through our acts of love, kindness, justice, and mercy, we mirror the love of Christ, contributing to the divine story where God is making all things new. Through our faith, we declare the truth of the ‘already’, and through our hope, we navigate through the ‘not yet’.
2DAY1DAY is a platform that seeks to engage believers in conversations, reflections, and learnings, elucidating on how one might live in the now with the assurance and hope that springs from the resurrection of Christ and the anticipated return. Together, let’s explore how our lives, actions, and relationships can echo the truth of living between the times—embracing the assured victory of today while patiently awaiting the complete realization of God’s promises one day.
Join us on this explorative journey as we seek to live, love, and lead in the light of the ‘already’ and the hopeful anticipation of the ‘not yet’, navigating through the intricate, beautiful, and sometimes perplexing journey that is the Christian walk in these in-between times.
