Escape Thinking
You know, a lot of people have the “Escape Thinking.”
This is the mindset that salvation means leaving earth, escaping the body, departing from creation. And you see the man looking up here, escape to get to heaven. “I can’t wait to leave this body, this world” – how he thinks.
“Earth is temporary and meaningless. The body is a burden. Death is liberation. Heaven is the ultimate goal. I just need to get out of here. Spiritual is non-physical. This world will be destroyed anyway.”
So this is escape thinking and what it believes.
“The world is not my home. My real life starts when I die. Heaven is up and earth doesn’t matter. The body is just a show. Christianity is about getting out of here.”
How it lives: Neglects the body and health. Avoids engagement with culture and creation. Focuses on fear, doom and end times. Disconnects faith from daily life. Lives with a mindset of escape, not transformation.
The Result: Escaping a life of disconnection, fear, hesitating to escape instead of living, instead of living out God’s purpose on life. Escape thinking some of the wonder you can’t wait to leave. “This world is not my home. The body is the problem. Death is a release. Heaven is the real goal. This world doesn’t really matter.”
Amen and amen – Let’s look at the Kingdom of God thinking which what really matters!
