Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Bob and Shawn are currently taking questions from our listeners. Today, they will be responding to a hypothetical question regarding the content of saving faith. Is it possible for a person to believe that Jesus guarantees eternal life to all who believe in Him for it, but not believe in Him for yourself? Must a person want eternal life in order to receive it? These, and other issues will be addressed on the show. We hope you join us as we seek to keep grace in focus.
