Question 7: Part 4: What Do We Know About Heaven – Our Inheritance?
Welcome to the final episode of Eternal Life; the free, short podcast series exploring the life of Jesus for anyone from devout Christian to curious skeptic. If you have ever struggled with believing in the miracles of the Bible without having evidence, then this series is for you! Today, we are delving into part four of question seven: What do we know about Heaven – our inheritance? Previously, we discussed Heaven versus Hell, what Heaven may look and feel like, and the true nature of Heaven. Today, we continue exploring misconceptions about Heaven; namely, the belief that our entrance to Heaven is based on our deeds. It is important to understand that our salvation and entrance into the New Earth are merely a matter of Jesus, our inheritance, however, is disproportionate when we are there. Your life's choices shape your existence, and experience, in Eternity. Join us for this incredible discussion and the opportunity to come to know, accept, and be secure in a confident, eternal life. Debunking the common misconception that your entrance to Heaven is based on your deeds. Why our inheritance is disproportionate in the New Earth. What grants you entrance into Heaven and eternal life. Why being a Christian means recognizing your imperfections and need for Jesus in your life. The importance of making decisions about your beliefs while you have the chance.
