For a lot of Christians, the Gospel is about salvation and only salvation.  Jesus died on the cross to save us from receiving the punishment for our sins - an eternity of separation from God in Hell.  Therefore, the reason to become a Christian is to be saved.  And once you’re saved, you’re just waiting for this wretched, sinful world to come to an end so you can finally enjoy the fruits of Jesus’ salvation.

I feel like these Christians, well-meaning though they are, are selling Jesus short.  His sacrifice is the source of our salvation, of course, but there’s more to it than that.  With His sacrifice, not only are we saved from Hell, but we are reconciled to the Father while we’re still here on Earth! 

This means you don’t have to spend all your time counting the days till the end comes.  You can spend your remaining days enjoying your relationship with God and living in line with your unique assignment in the Kingdom. 

In this episode of God’s Plan For Living, I talk about how the Gospel of the Kingdom is more than just the Gospel of Salvation, and how you can embrace God’s design here and now.  I hope you’ll listen and open yourself up to God’s great gifts you can enjoy here on Earth, before the time comes for you to use the ticket to Heaven that Jesus bought you. 

If you want to get a head-start on opening up your life to receive the Kingdom, you can buy my new book, “God’s Plan For Living,” right here on Amazon:
