12 Theses Summarizing Paul's Theology:

1. Humanity’s natural situation is spiritual death and settled hatred of God.
2. Jesus Christ is the clinching fulfillment of every OT promise and the Reverser of the Fall and its ruinous effects both on humanity and on creation.

3. Jesus is the last Adam, the pioneer of the new and final humanity.
4. The resurrection of Christ was the beginning of the final general resurrection of the dead.
5. Believers in Christ are united to him, within which union every saving benefit is subsumed.

6. Those in union with Christ experience the total eradication of the penalty of sin and the decisive dethroning of the power of sin.
7. The time between Christ’s first and second coming is the overlap of the ages.

8. The twin proofs of the dawning new creation are the arrival of the Messiah and the pouring out of the Spirit.
9. Jesus will come a second time, this time not quietly and in disguise but in triumph and power and judgment.
10. The church is Christ’s presence on earth.

11. Gentiles are widely embraced into the people of God as all socially constructed human barriers are torn down in Christ.
12. Believers owe all that they are to Christ and find their deepest joy in self-surrendering allegiance to him.
