How Do We Know That Saving Faith Requires No Works on Our Part?

April 12, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 10:12, Faith and works

Recently I wrote a blog entitled, “Understanding Saving Faith Is Not Like Breaking the Enigma Code.” I argued that saving faith is simply being convinced that the Lord Jesus Christ guarantees everlasting life that cannot be lost to all who believe in Him for that life. You can see that blog here. J. H. read

“If You Don’t Get Out of the Relationship, You Will Go to Hell!”

April 8, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John Piper on assurance, justification by faith plus works

Dr. John Piper is a famed theologian and retired pastor. But he has made some rather shocking statements for a 5-point Calvinist. The title of this article is one of them. He told those words to a young woman who had grown up on the mission field and who was living with a young man

Shawn found out that one of my former seminary professors was speaking at a church near DFW airport. I went to the church’s website and found out that they have an interesting way to evangelize. They have a heading called Friendship with God. They invite you to click to find out how to become a

¿Te Pagan por Ayudar a Otros?

April 5, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Supongamos que Dios pagara a cada cristiano por el trabajo que hiciera. Sería pagado por el uso de su tiempo, su talento, por ayudar a los pobres y necesitados, su amor a su esposa e hijos, su hospitalidad, por dejar pasar a otros conductores, someterse a otros, ser amable, etc. ¿Y si Dios pagara inmediatamente

¿Habrá consecuencias negativas en el Tribunal de Cristo?

April 2, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recibí el siguiente correo electrónico: Entiendo que puedan haber consecuencias mortales para el pecado impenitente en esta vida, pero no puedo comprender la idea de que habrá consecuencias negativas en el Tribunal de Cristo (el Bema). ¿Cuáles consecuencias mortales podría haber allí? Leyendo 1 Cor. 3:10-15, parece que cualquier “madera, heno o hojarasco” simplemente se

The Finished Work of Christ Proves His Promise of Life Is True! (John 19:28-31)

April 2, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Good Friday, proofs of the promise of life

There are at least five other major scenes at the cross before this one. I start here because Jesus had said that He would rise on the third day. Day one started when He died on the cross, which is why we start there. In the Jewish way of thinking, a part of a day

Lidiando con una Seguridad Vacilante

March 31, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recibí por correo electrónico esta excelente pregunta sobre la seguridad de la salvación: Aprecio mucho vuestro ministerio y deseo de presentar el evangelio de forma clara, y espero que podáis compartir vuestra opinión sobre algo que ha empezado a preocuparme. He creído en Jesús para ser salvo, pero últimamente he estado vacilando en cuanto a

Understanding Saving Faith Is Not Like Breaking the Enigma Code

March 30, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 3:16, saving faith and the will

Yesterday I was reading an author who identifies himself as a Free Grace proponent. He was talking about what saving faith is. He said that some Free Grace people say that faith is simply being persuaded. His view is that saving faith must include believing facts. The words must include bothered me. After saying that

El Papel de la Voluntad de Creer en el Señor Jesús para la Vida Eterna

March 26, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Pablo hace esta excelente pregunta: Hemos tenido un debate sobre si una persona tiene que “querer” creer. ¿Está el versículo de Juan 1:13 en desacuerdo con eso, o lo estoy sacando de contexto? Me gustaría saber lo que ustedes creen que este versículo está diciendo. El versículo de Juan 1:13 dice que el nuevo nacimiento

¿Aborreciendo tu vida para guardarla para la vida eterna? (Juan 12:25)

March 24, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recientemente recibí un correo electrónico de un Pastor en Suiza que quería saber el significado de este versículo: “El que ama su vida, la perderá; y el que aborrece su vida en este mundo, para vida eterna la guardará,” (Juan 12:25). Amar y Aborrecer son figuras retóricas que se refieren a las prioridades. La persona
