I’ll leave it to the Good Lord, whatever we discover, it will be perfect! It is not about the messenger, but I am with John Piper on this one; it is biblically based. I will add a mix of seriousness and humor here: If I am in the habit of “doing good” with the thought of getting to a higher degree of heaven, I am not going to get to the level that I anticipate. John Piper and John MacArthur seem to stand out for me as preachers that aren’t reluctant to speak out on what we don’t want to hear. The key is not to budge from clear biblical truth – “No one gets to heaven for simply being a ‘good’ person!”; it is only through the substitutionary atonement of Yeshua (Jesus) the Christ!
Thoughts? Remember in our fellowship, conflict is sine qua non (a prerequisite) to growth.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Your brother in Christ,
