Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today and all this week, Ken Yates and Bob Wilkin are answering questions from listeners like you. Today, there are three questions: Why does James 2:23 seem to mention that Abraham’s righteousness was not complete until he offers up Isaac? Did he not have faith much earlier in his life?

Then, there is another question about the free-grace position and eschatology.

And there is a third question about GES: Where do you find the central passage in the Bible for Eternal Salvation?

Bob and Ken give great answers to these questions with applications for us today. Please listen and join us each weekday for Grace in Focus radio!
