Episode notes
Individual Responsibility Before God
- God deals with individuals, not groups, for salvation and final judgment according to the New Testament.
- Every person is individually accountable before God despite the existence of corporate realities like the church.
Two Types of Corporate Judgment
- Corporate judgments can be earthly, as with Jerusalem's destruction, or eternal at the final judgment.
- Jesus predicted historical devastation but also pointed to eternal consequences at the end of time for certain cities.
Believers and Corporate Judgment
- Believers in judged cities will not be condemned; their faith saves them individually.
- Though they may suffer or die in historical judgment, God uses this as purification, not punishment for believers.
