Only One Life EP98

From the transcript...

in Christ as he died for us all, with us all, as us all. There was such an inescapable union when the Word became flesh. And we all died.

And then when He got up out of the tomb, He put to death everything that wasn’t right. And He brought to life all that has eternally been true of us—that we were deceived and confused and blinded and doubtful of—so that now everything we are is a new creation, and everything that, in the news of God from God, it is right, it is good, it is eternal, and that we now have life.

And what I find amazing about the passage is He’s basically telling people, if you’re alive, you’re alive because you’re alive in Jesus. And if you ever get that, then you’ll take your one earthly life that is joined to Jesus now and begin to live it with Him, unto Him, for Him, as He lived His life.

Yeah, you can live life and enjoy it. Yes. You mean what you’re saying is we don’t have to die and go to heaven? Oh, heaven has come—to enter into that.

Well, see, that’s the problem. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And somewhere along the way, we begin to, at the church house, say it’s about heaven or hell when you die. Yeah. And we went from heaven and earth to heaven and hell. Yeah. Okay? And there’s a big difference. There’s hell on earth, boy, in the world you live in. I’ve seen this stuff right here. Hell is a human construct.

And what happened was God made heaven and earth. He says it’s good. Then sin entered. Yeah. Okay. By Adam, sin entered, and death by sin. Okay.
