If We Can Earn Heaven, Why Did He Die?

from Growing Together · host Organic Church

Send us Fan MailLike Diane Sawyer or Barbara Walters of old, here at the Growing Together Podcast we don't mind asking the hard questions.  This week, Nic & Dale examine a thought provoking question.  If we can earn heaven, why did Jesus die for us?  Growing up, we are all told by those in authority, those that love and care, that if we want it, we have to earn it.  Setting goals is a healthy exercise for the body and mind, so it would only seem reasonable to believe it must be the same way in regards to our entrance into heaven.  This is not so, and Nic & Dale are here to explain why.  Listen in as they discuss many topics along the way including worship and praise, funeral tributes, and the true meaning of tithing.  The story of Cain and Abel is a great example found in scripture that can shed light on why works alone can never define our place in God's kingdom.  This is one you will not want to miss, and if you find that this episode changed your heart posture, dig in and listen to some more.  We have four seasons worth of content to choose from, and we would love to have you as a regular listener.  If we are learning, then everyone who listens is learning, and that's okay by us.  This is why we do what we do, to understand His greatness and to share it with others, in the hope a listener will carry it forward and share it anew.  Thanks for listening!
