18.16: Salvation - The Incredible Gift Of Purgatory, The Purifying Love of God

Crossing the Jordan

Today we talk about the absolutely incredible gift and good news of Purgatory - the encounter of the purifying love of God, the work of Jesus Christ perfecting us to live fully alive in God's love. We talk about what purgatory is NOT, the New Testament Principles / Implicit teaching for purgatory, the explicit teaching of Purgatory in the New Testament, the state of the soul encountering Jesus' purifying love won for us on the cross. Hell is suffering with no love or hope; heaven is love with no suffering; and purgatory is suffering with love and hope. God is a consuming fire, alleluia!
