What Do We Believe?

Christian Beliefs About the Future and the Second Coming of Jesus

21 min · Episode 22 Dari

What happens when fear of death and judgement begins to shape how we live? We reflect on how many in Afghanistan wrestle with anxiety around funerals, the afterlife, and warnings of punishment, and ask whether there is a surer hope beyond these fears. Through stories, humour, and honest questioning, we explore the contrast between relying on good deeds and finding assurance through faith in Jesus Christ. We consider the meaning of the last days, the promise of resurrection, and the belief that judgement rests not on our works but on faith. Ultimately, we point towards a hopeful vision of renewed life, where fear is replaced by peace and a restored relationship with God.
