The Ekklesia Project - Episode 88

A freedman of God hosting a journey to discover the lost ekklesia of God.
As we continue this mini-series exploring how one obtains eternal life, in this episode we complete our discussion on the necessity of persevering in obedience to the end in order to receive eternal life. [Of course, most of us have yet to begin our commitment to obey the commands of Jesus as almost all of us (in fact, I am not personally aware of any exceptions) do not even understand the commands of Jesus. Quite frankly, we live in a period of lawlessness that has spanned over 1,500 years beginning at the dawning of the church system, due to false teachings and practices of every sort.] We compare Romans 5:1-5 with 2 Peter 1:5-7 to explore the similarities inherent in the separate descriptions of the spiritual growth process by the Apostles, Paul and Peter. We compare these descriptions with other shorter depictions of the process such as, the laws being written on one’s heart, or one’s heart being circumcised, or the promise that “you will know the truth” (John 8:31-32). In each description or depiction, the requirement that one must persevere in obedience through tribulations and trials must be fulfilled in order for one to receive eternal life.
