Hierarchy Is Not Necessarily Bad

Hierarchy Is Not Necessarily Bad

video - Randy Alcorn
Because of our experiences with hierarchy in this world, the idea of having someone over us and someone under us inherently carries a negative connotation. But Randy Alcorn explains that because God is absolutely good, hierarchy in God's kingdom will not have the negative aspects we experience in this fallen world. All will have some area of responsibility, will be under the authority of someone and possibly have authority over others. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

1 Cor. 6:2, 3 - Will We Judge Other People in God's Kingdom?

In 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 Paul says that the saints will judge the world and even angels. However, Randy Alcorn emphasizes that the word "judge" refers more to ruling, like the judges who ruled Israel, than to judging sin, though some believers limit our ruling to the Millennium when some people will still be living in sin. Yet, the need for ruling over the world does not require the presence of sin, as seen in Adam and Eve's rule over the animals and the land before the fall. So our task of ruling will continue long past the fallen world. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
