3.0 Salvation Anxiety - Am I Saved From Hell?
In Ephesians the Apostle Paul wrote: “Put on the whole armor of God, That you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil”
The Devil. Satan. Baal-Zebub. The Tempter. The Accuser. We read in the Scriptures, who is evil — checkout that story is in Ezekiel 28. It’s pointed and profound: “…I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub …Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor…”
Richard Rohr, in 2019, wrote a short book entitled: What Do We Do with Evil? This caught my attention: <quote> “…I believe personal evil is committed rather freely…We call war “good and necessary,” but murder bad. National or corporate pride is expected, but personal vanity is bad … Evil … has become not only pleasing to us but idealized, romanticized … we now find ourselves unable to recognize … the tyranny of evil…” < end quote>
On Wednesday October 6th and 13th @ 7pm we’ll do a deep-dive, having a conversation looking at evil, heaven and hell. Considering if hell was a motivator and a critical subject in the early church for sharing the hope that is Jesus Christ? With us, you’ll find space to ask questions, share your thoughts and develop authentic relationships.
