Free Grace Theology impacts the issue of final punishment. The question is, what happens to unbelievers after the Great White Throne Judgment? One way that Free Grace makes a difference is relatively subtle. We emphasize that, according to Jesus’ promise, believers have eternal life as a present possession (John 3:16, 36; 5:24; 6:47). Believers do […]
Muchas veces los maestros procuran evitar el legalismo cuando enseñan sobre la justificación, pero lo promocionan (¿involuntariamente?) cuando viene a la santificación. Es decir, ellos presentan la vida cristiana como una serie de mandamientos para guardar. Tus esfuerzos para vivir la vida cristiana se convierten en un intento para cumplir con la misma lista de […]
In a recent blog, I was warning about the dangers of overusing cell phones (see here). In that blog, I made this passing comment about using cell phones for Bible study: When I preach and ask people to follow along in their Bibles as I read a section of Scripture, I often see multiple people […]
En mi último artículo, hablé sobre el hecho de que la palabra “salvación” en Romanos no significa salvación del infierno, sino salvación de las consecuencias negativas de nuestros pecados aquí y ahora. Una situación similar se produce con la palabra “ira” y en este artículo, me gustaría examinarla. A menudo, al oír la expresión “la […]
I like Steven Hein’s analogy for two ways of presenting salvation. He compares it to the difference between receiving a diamond as a gift vs. purchasing it yourself for a bargain: What is the difference between receiving the largest, most valuable diamond in the world as a free gift—and getting it for a penny? If […]
I have often been asked whether we can do anything to lengthen—or shorten—our lives. The question typically is stated like this, “We know that God is in control and that He knows everything. He knows the day that each person ever conceived will die. Isn’t it true, then, that nothing we do is going to […]
Recibimos esta perspicaz pregunta de John, lector habitual de nuestro blog: Acabo de leer su entrada de blog más reciente concerniente a “Dead Spoken Faith Alone” [Fe muerta solo hablada]. En su punto #10, usted menciona que tener la seguridad es esencial para una fe que salva. Tengo que admitir que todavía me asusta pensar […]

This good question just came in from a radio listener: In a book I read my children, it says “God is perfect and holy and anyone who sins cannot be in His presence.” I know this is a concept I have been taught somewhere else before. I heard it brought up in passing on one […]
Many teachers avoid legalism in justification, only to endorse it (unintentionally?) in sanctification. That is, they present the Christian life as a series of commands for you to fulfill. Living the Christian life becomes an attempt to fulfill the same “to do” list that was completely inadequate to save you in the first place. These […]
We have all heard the expression “slicing the bologna thin.” It means that a person is examining something too closely, even to the point of obsession. It can be used positively: “He really...
