, , , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Shawn will be discussing the role of confession of sins. Must an unbeliever confess their sins in order to receive eternal life? How should we relate 1 John 1:9 and John 3:16? Bob will address the distinction between believing in Jesus and forgiveness of sins. In addition, the guys will look at Acts 10:43 as it relates to this issue. These and many more things will be addressed on the show. We hope you join us as we dive into this important topic.

We hope you can join us as we dive into this important topic.
