The Redemptive Purpose of God
00. Introduction: The Redemptive Purpose of God
God has a much bigger view in mind for our salvation than taking us to heaven one day. God calls us to something higher, something more, than “mere” salvation (if I can say it that way). Who saves us? What are we saved FOR? What are we saved FROM? Answering these questions goes way beyond a kindergarten discussion of heaven and hell. In fact, Scripture reveals a marvelous plan that includes salvation, but goes beyond salvation, and also includes healing, deliverance, and reconciliation. It’s called Redemption – and that’s what we will explore in this series of messages.
