Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Steve Elkins and Bob Wilkin are looking at a question of reality that some say is necessary pertaining to almost everything.

Those who live by faith are not proud, but they live in obedience to God’s command under the power of the Holy Spirit. Listen to this Grace in Focus episode. We are looking forward to your company!
Why Do Many People Have So Much Confusion About Assurance of Eternal Salvation?
, , , , , , , , , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today Bob and Ken will discuss how Lordship Salvation falls short, especially in the area of assurance. In fact, could it be that many pastor/teachers who are proponents of Lordship Salvation are dead wrong when they suggest that having some doubt and therefore being on a “quest for assurance” regarding one’s eternal salvation, is better because it keeps us motivated to walk more uprightly, etc. But Bob and Ken say no–they explain how this is motivation by fear. Wouldn’t it be better and is it not more powerful and is it not God’s plan for us to be motivated by love and gratitude towards God and his grace. So join us as we explain how and why to keep grace in focus.
