Justification is not “just as if I’d” never sinned. It’s much more than that. Justification is the work of Jesus Christ to declare you righteous. Let’s learn together in episode 10 of Why We Believe What We Believe.
The word “saved” is an odd word and we assign a lot of meanings to it, which get especially confusing when we add religious overtones. But to own and to be able to articulate why we believe what we believe about how a person is saved is perhaps the most important theme of the Bible.
In this episode, Michael addresses questions about Jesus as both man and God on earth, whether we can walk out of the hand of God after we’re secure in our salvation, whether Jesus’ blood atones for the sins of everyone or just for a select group, what Michael thinks about when people say they ‘hear from God,’ and Jephthah’s rash vow to sacrifice whatever walked out his door to greet him when he returned from battle.
Do you have to believe in hell to be a Christian? Are non-believers given an opportunity to trust Christ after death? What about people who never hear the name of Jesus? Does the book of Leviticus apply to our lives today? How could Jesus forgive sins before dying on the cross? Are generational curses real and how do we fight Satan and his demons? You asked. Dr. E answered.
