What is Repentance and What is Faith?
,
What is it that saves you from condemnation in hell? Faith or repentance? Bob and Shawn encourage a listener who struggles with where they will spend eternity. The gospel message has been muddled by false teaching, but the Bible is clear–eternal life is given to the one who believes that Jesus saves them by His death on the cross.
