Salvation’s purpose
Wise words from a wise pastor (Tim Keller) at rooftopchurch:
“I’m trying to overcome a typical, wrong, unbiblical attitude on the part of Christians, particularly evangelical Christians, toward this material world.
There’s a tendency for many Christians to think of this material world – the world we’re in now – as a temporary theater for getting saved so that some day you can escape this material world and live happily in heaven forever. An awful lot of Christians say, ‘this world is going to die, it’s going to burn up, and while we’re here basically the only thing that’s important is to get people saved, and if they get saved eventually they’ll be able to leave this world.’ So it’s a temporary theater for salvation.

I Like Big Bibles is an FCC Youth Sunday series that began here.
First of all, let’s take a quick look at what the story has said so far.
Chapter 1: God is Good and he made a good world
Chapter 2: Humans bear God’s image and reflect it into the world.
And then there’s the Seventh Day right? The day when everything is perfect. The day when God sits back and enjoys his perfect creation.
This is how it was meant to be.
