Since John 3:16 Was Stated in An Old Testament Context, Then Why Doesn’t “Believe” Actually Mean “Perform”?

June 28, 2021 “Believe” in John’s Gospel, Galatians – Function of the Law, Gen 15:6, Jn 1:17, Jn 3:16, Jn 6:28-29

How were people in the Old Testament saved? What was the purpose of the Law? Does the word “believe” include the idea of performance and works? Today on Grace in Focus radio, we will be addressing these and many more questions. Bob and Shawn will be giving special attention to John 3:16 in the discussion. Bob will also provide some context to this issue in light of Abrahams salvation, drawing from passages such as John 8:56 and Hebrews 11. We hope you can join us as we dive into this important topic.
