Episode notes

King Benjamin emphasizes that even if we give all thanks and praise to God and serve Him perfectly, we would still be unprofitable servants. It's not that we're pathetic, but rather it's impossible for us to save ourselves. Grace is what saves us. Jacob also clarifies that we need to reconcile ourselves to God and recognize that salvation comes only through His grace. All we can do is be reconciled to God, which means getting over ourselves and acknowledging our need for Him. It is through the grace of God that we are saved.

Dr. Joseph Spencer continues to explore the themes of surrendering to grace, the need for broken hearts, and the power of covenants with Jesus Christ.
