Nearly all religions believe that there is a separation of the temporary and eternal at our death. This is the concept of the immortal soul as it called in much of modern Christianity.
The term “immortal soul” is not found in the bible
Its roots are in Greek philosophy
It’s what man has concocted
But as we will see later, it goes back much farther than that
The pieces of prophecy are quickly falling in place. Learn how the unfolding of recent events show exactly that!
Yes because this ties in with many other aspects and truths of the Bible.
Fits together perfectly
2 Peter 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
This is the one that we have focused on
Should continue to grow in it
Not an end in itself.
Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
Cling: glue
What is good?
Let’s look at a few of the items
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
How does it go out to all the world if we stop it at any time?
How could we have this opportunity that we now have if it were not for the preaching of the gospel?
Did God actually harden Pharaoh’s heart? Why did the Israelites hearts become hard in the face of all that God was doing for them? Is this still a problem for today? Why is this a problem for God’s people at the end of the age?
Today I want to remind us of the REWARDS that come with this way of life and try to put our current situation and circumstances into perspective.
A follow on from last week’s message
What do we have to look forward to after this life?
Why are we doing what we are doing now?
We are proclaiming that we want to live this way of life forever…and with God
But it won’t be like it is now – but beyond imagination
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
