Mister_T said:My question is why is the reward of Heaven the focus of so many churches? How 'bout a chart of sacrificial love? Where's the chart that shows how to help the needy and feed the poor?
It is the focus of so many churches because it is a popular and highly appealing concept. For churches who teach salvation by faith alone, along with "once-saved-always saved" soteriology, it is extremely attractive and popular to offer people a guaranteed ticket into eternal bliss, with no faithfulness, obedience, or perseverance on our part.
"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." James 2:24
