With Episode 45 comprising the Sixth Part of the ongoing G.G.S.(Gospel Guideposts Series) theme of, "New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?", your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) open the Episode with aptly stated remarks concerning America's 250th birthday, before discussing the dominant New Testament topic concerning the ultimate victory of life over death. Christ has delivered us from the fear of death, through His death, burial, and resurrection; however, according to the Scripture(First Corinthians 15:26), death is still an enemy to be destroyed. The physical resurrection of Jesus, as well as the general subject of "resurrection" in Scripture, reveals that God values the physical body and consummates redemption with a new physical order. The implications of a physical resurrection as the desired completion of Redemption, influences how we approach earthly life and purpose, as well as our concept of Heaven, particularly the "intermediate state". God's agenda is bringing Heaven to a new earth to dwell forever with His creation. The Lord desires us to be "on the same page" with Him in this present age so we may live in a manner which manifests His Kingdom in such a way, that His will is done "on earth as it is in heaven", rather than an overly individualistic focus on leaving this world for Heaven, as if God's only concern or goal was “getting us out of here.” You're sure to be Blessed as You glean from the many insightful points raised in this particular Episode. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.
