Originally broadcast as episode 2 on March 5th, 2021. In our second episode of the For Your Soul Podcast , we discuss the most important message ever: The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Despite the severity of our sin, God through Christ redeems us and reconcile us to Himself. From strangers to children. From darkness into His marvelous light! It is at the cross, where we see love and righteousness meet. Just wanted to note several errors throughout the episode: 1) During the portion where the apostle Paul condemns both Gentile/Jew in the book of Romans, the word Jew was mentioned twice instead of Jew/Gentile. 2) Later in the episode, one scripture was wrongly cited. Instead of rightly saying Hebrews 12, in referring to the verse "God disciplines those He loves", Romans 12 was cited instead. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/foryoursoul/support
