Do You Have to Repent of Gambling to Be Saved?
In this important discussion, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries responds to a listener asking whether gambling can send a person to hell. Pastor Mike explains that everyone is headed for judgment apart from repentance, but repentance is not about listing every individual sin—it’s about turning from a life lived apart from God. He clarifies that true believers may have blind spots, including thinking gambling isn’t sinful, and yet still be saved because salvation is based on Christ, not perfect behavior. Pastor Mike also warns that if gambling becomes addictive or destructive, it becomes a much more serious issue that must be confronted. This segment brings biblical clarity and comfort without minimizing sin.
