68 | Faith, Works and Repentance

Is being a "good person" enough for salvation? What does someone have to do to become a child of God? Is it faith and faith alone? Or is it faith and something else? Steve starts right off the bat by reminding that salvation is by grace alone. Titus 3:5-7 is very clear about this. Rich reminds us that God gives us the gift of salvation even though no one can truly earn it. Both hosts give a lot of scripture and explanation to show that salvation is by grace alone. You may want to make note of all the scripture references mentioned! How do faith and repentance fit into this? What does repentance mean? Steve and Rich spend time breaking down repentance, especially when considering faith and works. A major thing it comes down to is the perspective on who Jesus is and who we are in light of who Jesus is. If works are not what saves us, then where do works fit into the context of the Christian life? Steve and Rich discuss this and so much more. Make sure you come back for part 2 next week!
