[Posted on: 24 November 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Animal Suffering

In this video, Richard looks at the question of how creation has suffered as a result of the entry of sin into the world, but then looks to the hope that creation will itself be redeemed at the very end. He goes on however to say on a more sobering note, that even though creation may be redeemed, there will be no redemption for those people who have rejected God’s way of salvation, thus giving us an ever increasing urgency to evangelise.
