“Je hemel verdienen”, dat doe je hier en nu

“But heaven, the afterlife, was not central to Paul and early Christianity. Did they believe in an afterlife? Most, perhaps all, did. But was that the main focus for how they saw Jesus? That he provides the way to get to heaven? No. For Paul, “salvation” was not primarily about an afterlife, but about transformation this side of death—the transformation of ourselves and of “this world.” Justification by grace through faith is not about how we get to heaven, but how we are transformed here and now.”
