Your Vision Is Way Too Small

If you think it's just about you and Jesus, read this very slowly and carefully:
I love that last phrase: "the restoration of the entire cosmos, when God will be all in all under the renewed heaven on the renewed earth.”
“The object of the work of redemption is not limited to the salvation of individual sinners, but extends itself to the redemption of the world, and to the organic reunion of all things in heaven and on earth under Christ as their original head.
The final outcome of the future, foreshadowed in the Holy Scriptures, is not the merely spiritual existence of saved souls, but the restoration of the entire cosmos, when God will be all in all under the renewed heaven on the renewed earth.”
—Abraham Kuyper, Lectures on Calvinism (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson 2008), 105-106
