Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture or wondering how to be a better parent or grandparent…or just plain better, pull up a chair – let’s study God’s Word together, have some deep discussions and apply it to real life, one truth at a time.
Free Grace Theology teaches that eternal life is received by faith alone in Christ alone, apart from works. Jesus promises eternal life to whoever believes in Him, making salvation a present and secure gift of God’s grace.
Free grace is often charged with promoting spiritual apathy, yet the Scriptures reveal that absolute grace and solemn accountability go hand in hand. By carefully distinguishing the gift of eternal life from the conditional reward of discipleship, believers are called to look beyond mere entrance into the Kingdom toward faithful stewardship before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Far from discarding works, grace secures our eternal destiny while establishing the framework for true, Spirit-led accountability.
In soteriological discussions, logical precision is as critical as grammatical exactness. A frequent logical misstep committed by proponents of Lordship Salvation is the formal fallacy of affirming the consequent. By asserting that “If a person is saved, they will perform good works,” and observing good works, interpreters fallaciously infer that those works prove regeneration. Conversely, observing an absence of works is wrongly assumed to prove an absence of faith. This blog post examines how conditional logic functions in New Testament Greek and demonstrates why biblical assurance rests solely upon the explicit promise of Jesus Christ to the believer, rather than on logical fallacies applied to post-conversion behavior.
