Living Gospel Worthy - Philippians 1:27 - 30 - Jared Novak
from Villas Grace Church · host Villas Grace Church
When tragedy strikes it leads some people to ask the question: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" This line of thought is based on karma, which is based on the belief that you get what you earn. This karma world view even seeps it's way into Christianity. However, Christianity and karma contradict each other. Karma says you get what you earn, while the Gospel says Jesus took what you earned, which is God's wrath. It's true we cannot live a life good enough to earn salvation, which is why Paul ends the first chapter of Philippians by encouraging us to be "Living Gospel Worthy". Join us this Sunday as we find our how this is possible in our lives.
