Living in the “Politeia"

More Greek words? Yes! This week, three Greek words that captures how the early church understood the How’s and Where of it’s lived out faith in public spaces. There are numerous texts in the New Testament referred to as the “politeia” texts, these amazing verses lay out how every believer was to be a “benefactor” to culture and display the “good works” of Jesus in their cities. They lay out God’s plan for serving civic leaders as Spirit-led ambassadors, so that they see our good works and glorify God because of us. These “good works” are to be Jesus working through us to steward his new Creation in our workplaces and cities.
