Our sinful nature assumes our standing with God depends on our righteousness, obedience, and good deeds. The idea of salvation by God’s free grace alone through faith in Christ alone sounds too good to be true. Certainly God expects me to be a good person in order to allow me into heaven. However, can you really meet God’s requirement? Can you be good 100% every moment of every day every year? I think you know the answer. So in this episode I’ll help you see the only way you can be right with God. Spoiler: you have nothing to do with it!
