Claim. Jesus came as the messiah to bring complete salvation — to restore fallen humans as people who realize the purpose-of-creation and to establish the Kingdom of Heaven first on earth, not merely to forgive sins.

Elaboration. Per 1.1. The Purpose of Jesus’ Coming as the Messiah: Jesus’s command “you, therefore, must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” was given so disciples could be restored as people who fulfill the purpose of creation. He taught them to pray “thy Kingdom come” and announced “the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” because his mission was to renew fallen humanity and build the Kingdom on earth first (cf. dp-kingdom-on-earth-precedes-kingdom-in-heaven).

Such restored persons would (1) live in inseparable oneness with God, (2) experience God’s Heart from within, (3) not need redemption or arduous prayer, and (4) bear children naturally free of original-sin. DP frames Jesus’s coming positively against the standard reading that he came principally to die.

This atomic establishes the positive messianic mission against which §1.2’s diagnostic question (“was salvation completed through the cross?”) and §1.4’s spiritual-only-salvation thesis are evaluated. Jesus’s messianic mandate is wider than atonement; it extends to building the three-blessings Kingdom on earth in his lifetime — a goal that the cross alone did not accomplish.
