The permanence of your salvation is an important truth we’ll never stop proclaiming at The Grace Message. (Sadly, there are still far too many teaching you can lose your salvation!)Recently, two back-to-back callers asked if “once saved, always saved” is really true. In a unique twist, I shared the Bible passages used by those who think salvation can be lost and revealed their true context. The bottom line: Believing in temporary salvation is calling God a liar!I also shared numerous Scriptures that prove nothing, including your sins, can separate you from God’s love. Watch this short clip now and celebrate that your salvation has been secured forever!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

In Matthew 5, Jesus said whoever practices and teaches the commands of the Law will be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.But we Christians are not under the Law. And are we really ranked from least to greatest in Heaven?These were Tim’s questions when he called in about the Sermon on the Mount. In this short clip, I share the radical and liberating truth about Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 5.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

There’s a common misconception that 1 John 1:9 instructs Christians to confess their sins to be forgiven and cleansed by God every day.The idea that God forgives your past sins at salvation but then leaves you with the burden of confessing each sin going forward to remain forgiven, misses the incredible power of the true Gospel message.In this call, I unpack the proper context of this passage, proving it’s not directed at believers. Your forgiveness doesn’t come in daily installments; you are a totally forgiven person. And when you grasp this amazing reality, you’ll be inspired – just like this caller who was laughing with joy – to share the truth with others!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

George struggled so much with sin that it got to the point where he wondered if God was fed up with him. Was this the end for George? Was God so angry and frustrated that He was through with George? These were his concerns.So, can you out-sin the grace of God? Will the blood of Jesus run out on you? And if not, then what’s the motivation for upright living anyway?In this call, I address these crucial questions about forgiveness and godliness. I hope it’s both clarifying and inspiring for you today.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Simon called in about this controversial passage:Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. (James 3:1)Judged more strictly? How does this fit in with the believer’s freedom from punishment?

While most Christian teaching mentions the grace of God, few go as far as we do at The Grace Message in bragging on God’s grace and the finished work of Christ.But how do we know we’re right about God’s grace and that a grace-centered perspective is the most accurate understanding of the Gospel? Is it the grace of God, plus nothing else added in? Or is it grace plus something we need to earn or achieve?As I share in this short episode, it all comes down to what you believe about the quality of Christ’s work. Check it out and decide for yourself if your forgiveness, freedom from the Law, and new identity are still a work in process or fully accomplished.It’s one or the other, but only one spells out the Good News loud and clear!We hope you enjoyed this episode.
