In order to Live in the 5th Act we need to know the first four acts of the story. We must understand the characters and events that brought us to the present. If not, we run the risk of going off on our own script. Let's get to know the author of the story!

These things happened to them as examples
and were written down as warnings
for us, on whom
the fulfillment of the ages has come.

 As a Christian, you know the Gospel story. You've heard how Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice in order to pay for your sins. He took the punishment that you deserved, and now you can be saved. You are probably so familiar with this story that you are already bored. Let me tell you something interesting: the story you have heard so many times may, in fact, not be true.
Did you know that this explanation is only about a thousand years old?
A quick summary of the Gospel, the Good News Story, as most of us have been taught, could go something like this:

 Easter is a time of remembrance for the Christian, a time when we remember the resurrected Redeemer but in our recollection, we often forget about the Saint who suffered. Many will celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the grave victorious and triumphant over death, hell and the grave itself but few will recall the days and moments before this conquest when Jesus was beaten and left hanging to die on a cross on Golgotha's hill. Many will appreciate that Christ was seen after His resurrection, but few will ponder the obedience it took to endure the punishment He did not deserve. Jesus was spit on, slapped in the face, made fun of and beaten. Yet, He suffered these things that we might have eternal life (Luke 23:10-11).

 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46
Surely greater anguish has never been experienced by man before, or after, the crucifixion! Jesus' brutal torture and execution must have caused him more physical pain than we can even comprehend. What is more, many believe that the mental and spiritual anguish of bearing the sins of the world eclipsed the physical pain with an agony beyond our experience.

 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. (1 Timothy 4:16)
Life and Doctrine: the two essential components of salvation. In the same way that an airplane needs both wings to fly, we need to live the right way (life) and believe the right things (doctrine) in order to be saved.
Or so we have believed.
Is that really what the scripture is saying? On the surface, it does seem to say that salvation is dependent on our lives and our beliefs. Let's dig a little deeper.
