The promise of life

What Should We Say to 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Christians? 

March 6, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, The promise of life
Toby asks two great questions: It seems to be a popular teaching to believe (or trust) in the finished work of Christ on the cross for salvation. I hold to the position that we believe in Jesus’ promise of everlasting life. Is the former view correct? How should I talk to people who hold this

Is There Such a Thing as Guilt-Free Evangelism?

October 5, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, The promise of life
My first two years on staff with Cru, we were encouraged to share our faith with multiple college students each week. But we had no quota we needed to reach. That changed in year three. We were required to witness to ten or more students per week one-on-one. When I spoke to the basketball and

What Part Do Works Play in Assurance of Salvation?

September 6, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, introspection, The promise of life
B. P. asks, “Is evidence of a changed life an important indication of whether a person is truly born again?” Most Evangelicals say that their assurance of salvation requires an ongoing self-examination of our works. They reason in this way: Major premise: Only those who persevere in faith and good works will gain final salvation.

The Role of Christ in Our Salvation, Part 3: The Promise of Christ

July 21, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of the essence of saving faith, The promise of life, the word of life
Not only did Jesus need to be the right Person and do the right works for us to be saved, but He also had to make the right promise. Without the promise of everlasting life, no one could be saved. Why is the promise of Christ essential for salvation? Because the promise of everlasting life

Is It Enough to Hope That Eternal Security Is True? 

November 16, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal security and evangelism, John 3:16, OSAS, The promise of life
C. L. raises another important question: I have a friend I’ve witnessed to on several occasions about eternal security. He acknowledges how Scripture seems to make it clear, and he seems to believe it up to the extent that he HOPES it’s true, but then is sort of prepared for the possibility that it’s not

Why Do We Make It So Difficult to Be Saved?

July 29, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Justification by faith alone, The promise of life
Hal and Wanda ask this provocative question: I guess this is more a philosophical question than a theological one. Why do you think individuals want to make it so difficult to be saved?  You would think they would be eager to embrace faith alone as the saving message.  I guess the spirit of the Pharisees

The Greatest Commandment and the Promise of Life (Matthew 22:37 and John 3:16)

December 18, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 3:16, John 5:39-40, Matthew 22:37, The promise of life
A. S., a reader, asks this fascinating question: In relation to Matthew 22:37 and John 3:16—in your own understanding what is the right interpretation of the two verses in relation to each other? Thanks, and stay blessed in Jesus’ name! The Lord was often asked about the greatest commandments in the OT. The reason was

Fuzzy Evangelism Countered by Knowledgeable Catholic

January 29, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism, Evangelizing Catholics, John 3:16, Receiving Christ as personal Savior, The promise of life
A regular blog reader sent me a story that is making the rounds on the internet. I doubt it is a true story. It sounds made up. In any case, the story tells of an Evangelical woman who used to be a Roman Catholic; she was sharing her faith with a Roman Catholic man in
