The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1 Peter 4:7

Title:  The end of all things

Christians have the unique advantage over the heathen in the sense that we know that the present political, economic, social systems, etc., even the order of nations and the physical appearance of the material universe will not endure forever.

In reality, the body of prophetic utterances is addressed solely to the people of God because only the saints have the imputed right and capacity to understand and envisage the series of calamitous episodes that will precede the End of the Age.

If so, the believer must conduct his life in conjunction with the dissolution of matter; he must have a world view that anticipates the culmination of history and all earthly institutions, and as a consequence conduct his affairs in agreement with his portion in the body of the Lord Jesus, the church, until His parousia and time is no more.
