Lesson Theme: Can Salvation Be Earned?
Once I get to Heaven, does God determine if my good outweighs my bad? Where did this widely held belief or impression come from anyway? And if it isn’t so, then why did Jesus say in John 5:
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.“
Lets take a look at this popular ‘doctrine’ that so many religions virtually underscore in the light of the Scriptures.
Note: No PowerPoint lesson today. Let’s just use our Bibles and make some notes in the margins.
