Liberating you from bad ideas about God
Frank Viola, author of Insurgence, joins me to discuss the Gospel of the Kingdom and what it really means to seek the Kingdom of God in our lives here and now. They also look at Luke 17:20-21 and Matthew 11:12 and what these passages teach about the kingdom of God.
No, I am not condemning or cursing Christians to hell. Instead, I am inviting them to follow Jesus wherever He leads … even when it is straight to hell. In other words, I am saying that Jesus is leading you to go to hell.
Since the gospel is about way more than just receiving eternal life but is also about how God’s people are to live their lives in this world, then the goal of living out the gospel is not primarily to rescue people from hell so they can go to heaven when they die.
The terms salvation and Kingdom of Heaven do not refer to eternal life, but to how we should live in this life on earth. Once we clarify what these words mean, a lot of confusion get pushed away about what the Bible teaches regarding eternal life and the condition for receiving it.
Lukewarm believers are mentioned in Revelation 3:16-17. While they do have eternal life, they cannot experience the Kingdom of Heaven unless they take steps to become either hot or cold.
