I blurted out without too much thinking that, "I don't believe purgatory exists - because believing in Jesus is either sufficient, or it's not."
That revealed to me a global question that I think can quickly bring laser focus to most conversations on spiritual matters. Namely,
"Do you believe that the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is sufficient?"
So, for anyone believing in Jesus as their redemptive Saviour, will that settle spiritual matters of eternal importance for them?
I think there are three answers worthy of provocative conversation with friends and neighbors:
"No, I don't"
"Yes, I do"
"I'm not sure"
I'll spend a few of my next blogs on each.
What do you believe?
