Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr will respond to a question about something Zane Hodges wrote—that since Jesus has taken away the barrier to God by His sacrifice for sin, therefore the only thing left to keep a person from eternal life is a lack of believing Him for it.

Recently, I was traveling north through Kentucky on I-75. My GPS didn’t see it coming, but all of a sudden I found myself in a traffic jam. Nobody was able to move.
