What is meant by "Faith" and why is it essential to understanding the Bible?  Find out on today's episode of Bible Reading Today.  

No matter how dark, chaotic and violent life becomes on planet earth, God always preserves a godly remnant of people through whom His ultimate purpose of redemption and restoration will be fulfilled.  Listen to today's discussion of grace to learn more.  

The Bible teaches that there are two lines of humanity on earth, two kingdoms in perpetual conflict in every generation.  Listen today to learn how this situation came about, and how it will eventually be resolved.   

Many in our day feel that speaking of sin and judgment is too negative and that we would be better off preaching only a gospel of God's love.  But that is impossible.  Find out why by listening to today's podcast.  

Is man simply another kind of animal, or is there something different about him?  Listen today to learn that man is not only a natural being, but a supernatural being as well.  

Why did God create the universe we live in?  What was His purpose in Creation?  Find out today as we begin our new study: Foundational Truths.  

The foundation of our assurance could not be more firmly established in Scripture.  That foundation is the love of God.  Because He loves us, He will never permit anything in heaven or earth to drive a wedge between Himself and the one He loves.  Listen today as we unpack the greatest text of Scripture dealing with our assurance.  

Though believers are assured of final salvation at Christ's return, we are not exempt from the experience of suffering as we wait for His coming.  Today, we'll find four encouraging thoughts to keep in mind as we pass through the fellowship of suffering for Jesus' sake.  

Today, we'll examine three evidences believers can notice in their lives, proving that they have in fact entered into a new life in Christ.  

The presence of the Holy Spirit indwelling those who believe makes all the difference.  Find out about that in today's study.  

Today we begin looking into one of the most valued chapters in the whole Bible: Romans 8.  The wonders of Romans 8 build to a crescendo and finish in the greatest statement of security in the entire Bible.  But, you'll never feel you've reached that summit unless you begin your journey in the right place.  Join us today to discover the right starting place on the journey to assurance.  

The struggle against sin in believer's lives is real, and can almost drive the sincere follower of Christ to despair.  Far from doubting our salvation, this fact lead us to seek further help from the Lord.  Listen in today to hear an explanation of this truth.  

If the Law of God no longer condemns those who have believed, and the Law could never save anyone anyway - what use is the Law?  Do Christians need to make any use of it at all, given our secure position in Christ?  Let's look at this matter in today's lesson.  

If believers are truly released from the Law's power to condemn, why do we still suffer conscience's conviction when we sin?  Does an aroused conscience mean that we are not truly saved?  Find the answers in today's lesson.  

We contend that those who are in Christ are no longer subject to the Law.  If that is true, where does that leave the Law?  Is there no place for living righteously as Christians as the Law demands?  We begin looking at this question in today's lesson.  

Some people mistakenly think that having become a Christian, they should no longer have a struggle against sin.  The idea that Christians can live in constant victory over sin without a struggle is one of the great lies of Satan and results in insecurity of heart and mind in many who genuinely belong to Christ.  Today, we take a slight detour to discuss the believer's daily struggle against s...

God's grace saves us and keeps us saved, and that is a wonderful truth.  But not everyone sees the wonder.  Some object that this doctrine will cause believers to plunge even more deeply into sin.  Is there an answer to this objection?  Listen in today to find the answers.  

All who are in Adam are condemned to death.  But all who are in Christ, have eternal life.  On what principle are these things true?  Listen in today to discover the answer.  

Romans 5 tells us that we have a sure and certain hope of eternal life if we have put our faith in Jesus.  How can this be?  And how can we be sure that this is true?  Join us again today for another study in assurance of salvation. 

Do you realize that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus is already counted by God as one who will share His glory in eternity?  There is no uncertainty about it.  Hear God's word on the matter today in Romans 5:1-2.  

Because salvation is based on Jesus' righteousness and work on behalf of those who believe, we need never wonder if we've done enough to be accepted by God.  Today's lesson shows from the example of Abraham that salvation by grace through faith is all anyone needs to be accepted by God.  

Does it really make no difference if a man has a Bible or doesn't as far as God is concerned?  It does make a difference, but the difference it makes may surprise you.  Listen today to find out a key thing to know concerning assurance of salvation.  

Some people have been given more insight into the things of God than others.  Does this put them in a special category with God?  Does having a Bible certainly lead to salvation?  Today we'll look at the testimony of Romans 2 about this matter and discover that both the man with a Bible and the man who has no Bible are equally accountable for their sins before God.  

God holds all men everywhere accountable for their rebellion against Him.  But is it fair for God to do this to men who don't have God's Word?  The pathway to assurance of salvation runs through an understanding of the need for salvation and Romans makes clear that all men everywhere need that gift.  

Receiving assurance of salvation is a common struggle for many believers.  This lesson introduces a multi-lesson study in the matter of Assurance from Romans.
