The goodness of God but hell, atonement but hell, reformation but hell, scripture but hell, Calvinism but hell; in this podcast Peter Hiett describes hell as \\u201cSatan\'s big but.\\u201d

In this conversation Peter walks us through the story of our own creation, the goodness of God\\u2019s reconciling love, the relational kindness of a God who encounters, sets free and transforms.

Peter describes a God who delights in His creation, a God destroys what is evil, creates what is good, and invites us to observe our own creation in Christ Jesus.

QUOTES

Regarding relentless love and hell \\u201cAt that point I was simply saying I want to hope this is true. And they said, \\u201cyou can hope it, but you can\\u2019t believe it\\u2019s possible.\\u201d

\\u201cKnowledge of evil is believing I have to justify myself.\\u201d

\\u201cIt\'s really not very complicated at all. If you take out the middle point of (Calvinism\\u2019s) limited atonement, you\'re left with a beautiful picture of this God who is raising his children and creating them in His image and He does it through His atonement and His atonement won\'t fail\\u2026\\u201d 

\\u201cWhen you announce good news, you don\\u2019t say, \\u201cNow this is what you need to do about it, you just tell people, and the news changes folks.\\u201d

"But if you\\u2019re a part of the institution, you want people to give to the budget, you want them to go on the church retreat, you want them to come help pull weeds in the garden. So, you\\u2019re always tempted to say, \\u201cbelieve this or\\u2026something.\\u201d Well, hell is a huge \\u201cor something.\\u201d

\\u201cThe good news, the Word, it carries the power within itself, you don\\u2019t need to con anyone into obedience.\\u201d

\\u201cHis goodness is beyond anything we\\u2019ve understood.\\u201d

"Regarding Romans 5 \\u201cAs in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive, and it\\u2019s the best most beautiful news.\\u201d

\\u201cThat sloppy universalism that just says \\u2018Oh God feels great about everybody and it doesn\\u2019t matter what you do.\\u201d It leaves everybody feeling empty because we all know something is really wrong with humanity and really wrong with me and my neighbor. I think scripture reveals that, yeah, were half made, were not finished yet. God is gonna destroy what is evil and create what\\u2019s good and you\\u2019re observing your own creation in Christ Jesus. And in the end, absolutely everything is a gift of your Father and you can\\u2019t even begin to comprehend how much He delights in you.\\u201d
