Treason, Reconciliation and Peace - Part 1 (Treason)
In the first part of this seminar, we delve into the concept of Treason as portrayed in the Bible. Our exploration begins in the Garden of Eden, the setting for humanity's initial act of spiritual treason against God. By disobeying God's command, humanity ignited a ripple effect of estrangement, rebellion, and separation from their Creator, fundamentally disrupting the previously harmonious divine-human relationship. This inaugural act of spiritual defiance constitutes a profound illustration of treason, setting the stage for the larger biblical narrative. By understanding this first act of spiritual treason, we gain crucial insights into the complex dynamics of humanity's relationship with God, marked by both rebellion and an enduring longing for reconciliation. This investigation of biblical treason serves as an important foundation for the subsequent themes of reconciliation and peace that we will delve into in later parts of this seminar.
Treason, Reconciliation and Peace - Part 2 (Reconciliation)
In this video, the Promise of Reconciliation is explored as a central theme of the biblical narrative. Beginning with the establishment of the Covenant of Redemption in the wake of humanity's initial act of spiritual treason, we explore God's unwavering plan to reconcile humanity to Himself. And how this divine plan finds its ultimate manifestation in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who bridges the chasm between God and mankind. This reconciliation, grounded in God's boundless grace and mercy, is not just a theological concept but a transformative reality, inviting us to experience peace with God and to live renewed lives as His children.
Treason, Reconciliation and Peace - Part 3 (Peace)
The third part of this seminar actively explores the biblical concept of Peace. Starting by introducing peace as a divine promise that stems from Christ's act of reconciliation. The video delves into the profound implications this has for humanity. And further elaborates on the transformative role of Christ who, through His death and resurrection, became our peace, breaking down the middle wall of partition - the sin that separated us from God. As we surrender ourselves to Christ, we're drawn into an intimate relationship with God where we're no longer rebels, but His beloved children.
