John 3:14-21 Jesus invites Nicodemus to embrace a deeper level of faith
Manage episode 404466469 series 3524315
Jesus is sent to lead people to eternal life. God is not condemning his people, but his message is offering them eternal life. Interesting, Jesus makes it clear we are not meriting eternal life, we simply have to believe. People have a hard time with this, still under the impression that we have to merit this invitation and the invitation could be taken away at anytime for any infraction of the rules. I wonder if for so many people, love is experienced as conditional… based on merit.
Lawrence Kohlberg describes different stages of moral development. His theories and perspectives gives us perspectives on how a faith based rules and reward can be very limiting and does not allow our faith to live.
