Living in a covenant of grace under the Lordship of Christ, we participate in the first fruits of God\u2019s coming reign and pray in hope for its full realization on earth as in heaven.<\/li>\n<li style=\"background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0px; background-position-y: 0px; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; outline-color: invert; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none currentColor;\">United Methodists share a common heritage with Christians of every age and nation.
