Eschatology and the Faith

The relationship of eschatology and “the faith” is quite interesting. It shows there is an objective reality to “the faith.” This is the meaning of what Paul says is “one faith.” This faith is directly related to the fulfillment of Christ’s coming. In Galatians it was the “the faith being about to be revealed” meaning that its fullness would arrive at the return of Christ. The time before the arrival of the faith is called the Law or Old Covenant system which served as a tutor to bring them to the soteriological and eschatological equivalent of faith which is “Christ in you” the hope of glory.

This audio has some very interesting concepts that show how integrally connected “the faith” is to the subject of eschatology. For those who want to speak of the faith disconnected to that which brought it to consummation is a fallacy. The other point is that if Christ’s coming is yet future, the faith is yet in the process of being revealed. Such idea destroys the imminence of that which is said to be “being about to be revealed.” Thus, we have an imminence of faith that further shows the imminence of Christ’s return.
