Is the Gospel of John the First and Only Clear-cut Teaching About Eternal Salvation in the Bible?
, , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Shawn will be discussing the gospel of John. Is the gospel of John the only clear-cut book in the bible to teach on the issue of eternal salvation? What about the time before the gospel of John was written? How did people know how to be saved? Bob will address this question in light of passages such as Gen 15:6, Rom 4:1-5, and Is 53. He will also provide different ways in which people would have heard the saving message prior to the writing of the gospel of John. We hope you find the discussion helpful.

Romans–Part 2–Romans 1:16 (concl.), Romans 10:1
, , , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. We are currently going through a series, where we look at five books in the new testament, to see how the different writers used the terms "saved" and "salvation." Just as the word "trunk" can refer to a piece of luggage, a tree, or the back of a car, the term "saved" can mean different things depending on the context. So far, Bob and Shawn have looked at Philippians and James, to see how these terms are used differently. The guys are now looking at the third book in this series, the epistle to the church at Rome. On the program today, we will hear the guys address Romans 1:16 and 10:1. Join us, as we attempt to unpack this important term.

Finally, we will hear the guys address James 1:22 and the phrase a "doer of Gods word." We hope you can join us as we dive into these meaty questions.
