Purgatory has long been a debated concept within Christianity. Some believe it’s a real place of purification after death; others see it as a human tradition without biblical foundation. In this message, we’ll search the Scriptures to discern whether purgatory is divine truth or simply church tradition.
In today’s study, we will go over these three questions:
1 - What is purgatory?
2 - Why do people believe in purgatory?
3 - What does the Bible say about purgatory?
Key Scriptures for today’s teaching: 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
Other Scriptures in this study: 1 John 1:7; Romans 4:5; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 10:14; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 3:20
Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.
