What are some advantages of the deposed royalty argument?
-
It has the whole Christian story in mind. It naturally leads to redemption through Jesus Christ.
-
The term ‘deposed royalty’ sums up who we are. We were created to rule under the authority of God, but in our willfulness we usurped our authority in the desire to be as God ourselves. We are still loved by God, but He knows our willfulness will lead us astray and so God has deposed us. This term illustrates our inherent wealth and our actual poverty.
-
It doesn’t simply take God as designer or creator or lawgiver but has the whole Christian story in mind
-
Advantages of the deposed royalty argument include: simplicity (it can be communicated using a very brief outline), emotional connection (have we all not felt lost where we are and searching for a greater purpose), and all encompassing (without getting too deep, it still manages to strike a nerve).
-
It acknowledges that humans fall short of God’s glory and need redemption.
