Understanding Salvation as the Intersection of Ages: Embracing the 'Now and Not Yet' Kingdom (Image Series)


Listen Later

Mike Erre and Tim Stafford conclude their deep dive into the concept of 'saved' by exploring how salvation is a story about time and space. They unpack the Jewish understanding of the present age and the age to come, discuss the 'already but not yet' nature of the Kingdom of God, and explain how living in the intersection of these ages affects our understanding of salvation and Christian life. They also address listener feedback on previous episodes and reflect on the practical implications of viewing salvation as the intersection of the ages.

Key Takeaways:

  • Salvation as a Story of Time and Space – Understanding how 'saved' involves the overlap of the present age and the age to come.
  • The 'Already but Not Yet' Kingdom – Exploring the paradox of the Kingdom of God being both present and future, and how this shapes our Christian experience.
  • Living in the Intersection of Ages – Discussing how the overlap of the ages explains conflicting experiences in Christian life and informs our participation in God's mission.
  • Practical Implications – Addressing how this understanding helps us navigate triumphalism and defeatism, and encourages us to live as new creation people.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Mark 1:15 – "The time has come... The Kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news."
  • Galatians 4:4-5 – "But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son..."
  • Zechariah 14, Joel 2, Ezekiel 36 – Old Testament prophecies about the Day of the Lord and the age to come.
  • 1 Corinthians 10:11 – "These things happened... on whom the culmination of the ages has come."
  • Matthew 7:21-23, Luke 11:20, Luke 17:20-21 – Jesus's teachings on the present and future Kingdom.
