The Grace Message

Thank you for sharing the grace message! Many Bible teachers say we can gain or lose rewards in Heaven through what we do. How did you come to believe we all get the same in Heaven? My brother passed away, and now I wonder where he is. Did he go straight to Heaven? Or does he have to wait to see God?

Why does Acts say “you will be saved, you and your household” if each individual needs to believe? What “commandments” does God refer to in Revelation 14? Why would Jesus call the church “dead” in Revelation if we are alive in Christ? If people in Jesus’ day called Satan “the prince of demons”, then who is the “king of demons”?

I know that our spirit goes to Heaven, but what happens to our soul? Should we really try to “give in secret” as Jesus said in Matthew 6? My Bible study leader says we need to the Holy Spirit to help us keep the Law. What can I do to help him understand the truth?

In my latest message titled “Light in the Darkness,” we delve into the profound significance of knowing Jesus as our Creator. Prepare to be captivated as we explore the transformative power of Jesus as “the Light of men.” What is the minimum requirement to be saved? Why is it essential to be “born of God”? What does “of His fullness we have all received” really mean? Join me as we reflect on these incredible truths and celebrate the joy of knowing Jesus as Light and Life! Discussion Questions for “Light in the Darkness”: 1. Why is it important to recognize Jesus as Creator? 2. What does it mean to you that Jesus is “the Light of men”? 3.

How does verse 17 highlight the dividing line of human history? 7. Read verse 18 and react to this statement: Jesus has explained God to us.

Is it okay to study philosophy? Do we each receive different amounts of rewards in Heaven? What Scriptures can I use to fight the enemy and have God intercede to get my husband back? Why did Jesus tell the thief on the cross that He would be in paradise (Heaven) but later told Mary (after the resurrection) that He had not ascended? How does the Gospel balance with the Law?

The people who heard the Sermon on the Mount were amazed. Why exactly? What is the sermon’s true meaning in context? I’m concerned about my son who is graduating from university soon. He has dreams of financial independence and being a millionaire. Can you speak to him? I’m so grateful for The Grace Message – thank you for sharing the truth of God’s grace! What does it mean to set our minds on things above?

I’ve heard that salvation is guaranteed but rewards are not. Is this true? The world says that we learn from failure, not success. To what degree should we believers take this to heart? How does it not become a “shoulda, woulda, coulda” scenario? I’m questioning why God is allowing so many negative circumstances in my life. Can you help? How exactly does God’s Spirit testify to us that we’re His children?

How do you respond to someone who says we believers are under the Law concerning tithing? Can Christians can lose their salvation if they are sealed with the Holy Spirit? One of my family members is acting bizarrely, and I wonder how “making it right with your brother” relates to my situation?

How can I fight the fear that plagues me? Who do the ten virgins represent in Jesus’ parable? I know I should forgive my older sister, but I don’t know how. Can you help? Doesn’t total forgiveness contradict the judgment seat of Christ? If not, why not?

What does John 1 have to say about the humanity and divinity of Jesus? As I get older, I wonder about my purpose and my impact. I have a list of things I want to accomplish, but I fall short. What should I do? Is 1 Thessalonians referring to the return of Christ at a future date (the rapture)?
