Key Takeaways:

• Near-death experiences hold potential evidence for life after death, aligning them with biblical accounts of heaven.
• Subjects of NDEs often report transformative encounters characterized by love, light, and a life review that echoes Jesus' teachings on accountability.
• Despite recognizing past actions during life reviews, individuals feel God's unconditional love rather than condemnation.
• Many people who experience NDEs bring back profound changes in priorities and lifestyle, which reflect eternal values.
• The overarching message is that encountering God's grace during life, not just through NDEs, brings personal transformation.

Notable Quotes:

• "Scientists say NDEs may be the strongest evidence we have for life after death."
• "Yet the most surprising part of these accounts is that after seeing all the good and all the bad people, people don't feel shame or condemnation."
• "Our sin has real consequences not just for us but for those around us."
• "Jesus didn't come to condemn the world but to save it."
• "This grace is available to all of us today, and we don't have to wait for a near-death experience to encounter it."

The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit. When we choose to follow Jesus, the Spirit speaks to remind us of all that Jesus established and apply it to our lives.

So how does the Spirit speak? How do we know it’s God? And what happens afterwards? Join Rev Dr Tania Harris as she explores what the Spirit is saying to us. Everyday God Conversations will encourage you weekly to reflect on the God-conversations of Scripture, the ultimate God-conversation in Jesus and to hear from the Holy Spirit yourself. Remember, it was never meant to be a one-way conversation!
