About this listen
A strange bit of theology in this talk…
We often “PUNT” the promises of God to the future.
🏈
Go back to the Bible, though, and they thought— most of them— that the promises of God were only for NOW— not later.
In fact, in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul had to go out of his way to remind the early church that they had hope in the afterlife as well as the present (they had the opposite problem we do— they thought faith only “worked” for now— not then).
👇
The writer of Hebrews says the New Covenant is far superior to the Old (8:6).
So if…
⭐️ the blessings and benefits of the Old were for “now”
⭐️ their experience of God was for “now”
⭐️ things changed “now”
… then it also makes sense that they early church was on to something…
💥
God’s goodness works for LATER (after you die) as well as NOW (while we’re here).
That’s the subject to this talk…
