It's true that Satan knows Jesus and believes that He is the Son of God. The devil is also aware that Jesus was raised from the dead. So, based on the promise of John 3:16, why won't Satan have eternal life? We address this common question by looking at John chapter 3, Romans chapter 10 and James chapter 2. Once we define the world "belief" using scripture itself, the answer becomes clear.

Hebrews 2:9-10 and Hebrews 5:8-9 say that Jesus was "made perfect" by His suffering. But if Christ wasn't already perfect, how could He have died for the sins of humanity? As I explain in this podcast, the simple answer comes down to how the Bible defines words such as righteous, holy, sinless and perfect.

Though much of the language is symbolic and difficult to understand, the Bible provides information for us, in both the Old and New Testaments, about our eternal dwelling place. In this podcast, we cover 3 of the main lessons derived from scripture on this topic. #heaven #whatisheavenlike

Though much of the biblical language dealing with heaven and the afterlife is highly symbolic, scripture does provide us with meaningful clues about what happens to believers after they pass from this life. In this podcast, we examine and compare some of those verses to help us better understand where we go when we die.

The Bible speaks early and often about grace and forgiveness yet it also stresses that actions have consequences and that societies need legal structures to exist. In handling the issue of a fallen brother or sister, then, it is important that we take the guidance from all of those scriptural concepts into account. In this podcast, we discuss those concepts and use some real world examples to help us understand how to apply them.

Many Christians answer the question "are you going to heaven" with "I hope so". But according to scripture, we can know our eternal fate with certainty. It isn't an arrogance on the part of the believer that drives that certainty but the power of Christ and the faithfulness of God. In this podcast, we explore the Bible verses that teach us about this certainty. #Bible #Salvation #eternallife

The Bible says that it is a living and active, two-edged sword. In part this means that its scriptures are relevant to every person in every situation at all times down through history. And it also means that it has a way of melting away our excuses and exposing our conscience to God's convicting power. In this podcast, we examine Hebrews 4:12 in context to allow the Bible to explain for itself what it means that it is that living and active sword. #bible
