Many people obey the gospel…but, just like the children of Israel, fewer remain faithful, even in light of such passages as Matthew 10:22, which says, "he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Or Revelation 2, verse 10, which has Jesus saying, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." And when we see the dangers of unfaithfulness, I think all of us might need to ask ourselves, "Can the Lord call me faithful?"... and to realize the need to understand the topic of today’s episode.

The Christian religion is the religion of hope. And we find references to this hope throughout the New Testament. For example, in Ephesians 4:4, we're told, "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling." Here's another one, found in Titus 2:11-13: "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." How wonderful is the hope? What does the Bible say?

The fact that God is who He is makes it impossible for Him to do some things. God cannot sin...He cannot lie...He cannot change...He cannot save people against their will...and...God cannot answer the question asked in Hebrews 2:1-3.

Is salvation by faith alone, or does it include works, along with our faith? There's been much discussion about this for many years throughout the religious world. Which is it? Are we saved by faith, or works, or both? What does the Bible say?
