Salvation Restored More Than Your Soul | Here’s What We’ve Been Missing
from Rethink Faith with Nelson Jackson III · host Nelson Jackson III
Salvation is usually explained as something that happens to your soul.You are forgiven. Your relationship with God is restored. Heaven becomes your destination.But what if salvation restored more than that?What if it also reconnects you to the identity, purpose, and responsibility humanity was given before anything went wrong?Most of us were taught a version of faith focused on avoiding what is wrong and trying to do what is right. We learned about sin, forgiveness, and becoming better people. But we were rarely shown a clear picture of what our lives were originally designed for.That may be why so many people struggle to find their purpose. It is difficult to recognize your God given purpose when you were never given the full assignment.In this episode, Nelson Jackson III returns to Genesis 1:28 to rethink salvation, Christian purpose, biblical dominion, the creation mandate, and what it means to build a life around what God has genuinely entrusted to you.Be fruitful. Multiply. Fill. Subdue. Have dominion.This is not about becoming more religious, working harder, or building something impressive.It is about asking a more honest question.Are you building what was actually yours to build?Because you can be fruitful in the wrong field. Multiply the wrong seed. Fill a space that was never yours. You can even become successful and use that success as proof that you chose correctly.But success can confirm the machine without confirming the assignment.If you have been trying to understand your calling, find your purpose, or make sense of why the life you built still feels incomplete, this conversation is for you.Be Part of the Conversation:Subscribe to the podcastFind weekly episodes on YouTube [LINK]Join our "Weekly Unlearning" newsletter for exclusive insights and reflections [LINK]
