New Testament Thinking: Heaven Is At Hand

Summary

The sermon emphasizes New Testament thinking about salvation and the kingdom of heaven. It teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works, and that true repentance involves a change of mind turning to Christ. The kingdom of heaven is described as being 'at hand,' meaning it is present and accessible now, not just a future hope. The motivation for Christian living is love for Christ, who gave Himself for us, rather than fear of judgment.
