Gospel of God's Grace and His Kingdom by Eva Peck - HTML preview

Epilogue

This book has presented a fresh look at the gospel of salvation by grace offered by a loving God. If the concepts presented here resonate with you and make sense, and you put them into practice, you have an exciting spiritual journey before you and a glorious destiny to work toward.

Adherents to all major religious traditions seek to find meaning to their life, both here and beyond. Most acknowledge the existence of a Higher Power as they understand it, such as the Source of all that is. Divine Love, the essence of a loving Creator God that He offers to share with humans if they wish to receive it, transcends all religions. If these teachings are true, they can be seen as a transcendent religion and a universal way to God and salvation (as opposed to the traditional belief that people have to become Christians and accept Jesus’ sacrifice as a payment for their sins before they can be saved).

In a way, the overarching teaching of the availability of the Divine Love as a means for reaching a state of atonement with God can be integrated into many other religions. Believers of various persuasions, who already strive for a life of love, morality and ethics can adopt the concepts and through earnest prayer, have their souls transformed by the Divine Love. If and when this happens, their very partial understanding of the ultimate reality (which we all have) will also gradually grow.

Epilogue

People of different faiths hope and believe that this life is not all there is. If that’s the case, it behoves all of us to gain more understanding of the next life and prepare for it here and now. I believe that seeking and growing in the Divine Love is the best answer. However, each person has to decide for themselves.
