"...Christianity originally centered on Christ and His kingdom - not on the fine points of theology. It's rather difficult to put together a detailed theological statement just from the teachings of Jesus. That's because in essence the gospel of the kingdom is not theology. It's about people entering into an obedient faith-love relationship with Jesus the King, bearing fruit. Jesus didn't talk much about theology because that wasn't particularly important to Him. However, He did talk a lot about fruit. And He talked a lot about how we are to live as citizens of His kingdom He taught us what it means to love one another and to love God. Those things are important to Him." (emphasis added)
