Do you need to believe in Jesus or in God the Father in order to have everlasting life

Nick asks: Why does John 3:16 say that whosoever believeth on Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life, while John 5:24 says he who…believes in Him (God the Father) who sent Me (Jesus) has everlasting life? Do you need to believe in Jesus or believe in God the Father for everlasting life? Great question. […]

¿Abraham creía en la vida eterna

¿Qué creía Abraham? ¿Cuál fue el contenido de su fe en Dios? ¿Creyó en Dios para tener muchos nietos y bisnietos, o también tenía en mente la salvación eterna? Cuando Abraham creyó, ¿pudiera haber creído en Dios por algo eterno? Ojalá hubiera un versículo explícito que contestara esas preguntas. Sin embargo, existe una abundante evidencia […]

Three Words That Summarize the Christian Life

Most religions are extremely complicated because their works salvation systems depend on you following intricate laws, rituals, and to-do lists in the hopes of climbing the ladder to heaven. By contrast, Biblical Christianity (and, by implication, Free Grace Theology) is simple. How so? I think you can summarize the Christian’s “duty” with these three words— […]

Não reclame uns dos outros (Tiago 59)

C. S. Lewis disse uma vez: “O inferno começa com um humor resmungão, sempre reclamando, sempre culpando os outros”. Você não precisa concordar com a escatologia de Lewis para saber que resmungar é ímpio. É triste dizer, mas James teve que alertar seus leitores contra isso – fornecendo-nos outro comando “uns aos outros”: Portanto, sejam […]

Is believing in Jesus for everlasting life really all that is required

A reader from Europe asks, I have two questions about Free Grace Theology and Matt 7:21-23. First, you say in your book Secure and Sure that the problem in Matt 7:21-23 is that they did not believe in Jesus for eternal life. But how is this compatible with John 8:24, “I told you that you […]

¿Qué se perdió en el Edén

¿La Biblia enfatiza el aspecto eterno de la salvación? Cuando las personas del Antiguo Testamento y del Nuevo Testamento pensaban en la salvación, ¿Era “vivir para siempre” una idea nueva o básica? ¿Es algo que creían que Dios les proporcionaría? Para contestar esas preguntas, considera Génesis 1-3. Conoces la historia. Sabes que Dios creó a […]

Do You Know Jesus’ True Value

“Do you know what you’re worth?” the ad asked. Our self-esteem culture strongly emphasizes knowing your self-worth—at least in terms of dollars and cents. You can find websites that tell you how much you should be making per year. I think most are too optimistic. For example, I was surprised to learn that, according to […]

¿Somos libres de cambiar lo que dijo Jesús para obtener una respuesta mejor

Recientemente, Shawn estaba hablando con un amigo que asiste a unas clases de seminario en línea. El hombre le dijo a Shawn que era un poco reacio a plantear cuestiones relacionadas con la Gracia Gratuita en sus trabajos de clase porque el profesor no parece en absoluto ser abierto a la teología de la Gracia […]

What if a Jew in the first century believed in the coming Messiah for everlasting life and yet did not believe in the Lord Jesus as MessiahSavior

At our recent national conference, Colby wrote this excellent question, but there simply was not time to get to it, so I will now: Did people prior to the introduction of Jesus in Matthew 3:17, who previously believed in the coming Messiah for everlasting life, have to now believe in Jesus who has been revealed […]

Os cristãos devem se beijar

Cresci em uma cidade francesa onde era costume saudar as pessoas com um beijo nas bochechas. Pelo menos, isso era normal entre meus parentes franceses. Enquanto isso, meus círculos britânico / inglês preferiam um aperto de mão firme ou um aceno de cabeça – ou, se parecessem especialmente informais, um abraço rápido. Tenho estudado os […]
