Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today on the show, Bob and Shawn will be answering questions from our listeners. We will hear the guys address how sorrow for sin relates to salvation. Does a person have to feel sorry for their sins in order to receive eternal life? If so, how much, and for how long? Bob will unpack this issue by drawing from passages like John 3, John 4, and Eph 2:8-9. In addition to this issue, we will also hear the guys discuss 1 Corinthians 15:2, and how we reconcile this verse to the doctrine of eternal security. You won't want to miss it!

Back then all of us Jesus people (as we were called) were concerned for everyone within Christendom who did not have “a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” The Jesus movement as a whole was quite diverse.

“Não existe almoço grátis.” “Se é bom demais para ser verdade, provavelmente é.” “Nada é tão simples quanto parece.” Todos esses são provérbios americanos comuns que refletem nossa sabedoria coletiva sobre ofertas duvidosas. No entanto, essas também são as idéias que levam muitas pessoas a duvidar da promessa da vida eterna, porque também parece boa

Over the Christmas break, I finished Jack Deere’s autobiography, Even in Our Darkness. And as the title suggests, it was very dark. The book reads like a confession of all the many ways Deere felt he failed as a father, husband, and friend, not to mention as a minister. In a world where many Charismatics
Does John’s Gospel teach that Jesus promised everlasting life that can never be lost? Does it teach eternal security? Is the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” true? The answers are yes, yes, and yes. How do I know? Read each of the following verses: “For God so loved the world that He gave His
I started reading through Jack Deere’s autobiography, Even in Our Darkness. His story so far has been very dark. But I think you’ll appreciate how he came to faith in Jesus: I’m not sure what prompted me, but on December 18, 1965, at 2 a.m., as I lay in bed in the dark, I asked
Did you know that someone could be eternally secure, but not remember having assurance? In today's episode, Bob and Shawn are dealing with this very issue. They will be diving into the differences between the two concepts, how it impacts our lives, and conversations with others. The guys will also be answering some political questions in today's episode, especially how it relates to poverty. You don't want to miss out on this week's final Q/A discussion.
