Podcasts about saved by grace

Heidi writes mid-labor to ask about D&C 76: does rejecting the gospel in this life really cap you at the terrestrial kingdom? We discuss that we simply don't know what fully constitutes a person's opportunity to accept Christ, and that a bitter, door-slammed missionary is nobody's final judge. Joseph Smith's own teachings point to a far more merciful God.    That flows into a heavyweight take on "after all we can do" (2 Nephi 25:23): Pelagius, Calvinism vs. Arminianism, evangelicalism's assurance-of-salvation hybrid, and President Oaks's "Have You Been Saved?" The through-line: we're saved only by grace, and living prophets, not proof-texts, tell us how that grace applies.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

You didn't earn salvation by being good enough. You can't buy it, work your way into it, or achieve it through your own strength. Salvation is God's gift received through faith in Jesus Christ.

As Jesus traveled toward Jerusalem, someone asked Him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” Rather than give a number, Jesus issued a direct challenge: “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door.”In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that this narrow door is Jesus Christ Himself. Salvation does not come through ethnicity, religious tradition, morality, or human effort. It comes through the shed blood of Christ and a heart that turns to Him in repentance and faith.But what does Jesus mean when He tells us to “make every effort”? He is not teaching salvation by works. Instead, Dr. Youssef shows how genuine repentance requires laying down our pride, abandoning every attempt to earn God's favor, and admitting our complete dependence on Christ. As John the Baptist declared, “He must become greater; I must become less.”Jesus warned that outward religion can never substitute for a true relationship with Him. People may perform good works, observe religious rituals, or even call themselves Christians, yet remain outside the Kingdom if they have never truly come to Christ.This devotional is a sobering call to examine where your confidence lies. Eternity is real, and the invitation of the Gospel is urgent. Enter through the narrow door—not trusting in yourself, but in Jesus Christ alone.Pray with me.Jesus, I trust in You and recognize that I bring nothing to earn salvation. You alone are my righteousness. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

What does it mean to truly be the church? Not a building, not a denomination, but the living, breathing body of people called out of darkness and into something far greater than themselves. In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul lays out one of the most stunning contrasts in all of Scripture: the before and after of a life transformed by God. We were dead. Not struggling, not stumbling, but dead in trespasses and sins, following the pull of a broken world and the influence of its ruler. And yet, into that death, two of the most powerful words in the Bible arrive like a lifeline: but God. Rich in mercy, overflowing with a love that is not one-dimensional but multi-faceted and inexhaustible, God reaches into our deadness and makes us alive. This passage invites us to sit with the full weight of what grace actually means. It is not a reward. It is not something we climb toward. It is a gift, freely given, that cost Christ everything and costs us nothing. And woven into that grace is another gift we often overlook: faith itself. Faith is not something we manufacture or build up through sheer willpower. It is a noun, not a verb. It is a key, placed in our hands, that unlocks a door to a life and a purpose already prepared and waiting for us. This message calls us to receive both gifts with fresh eyes and renewed wonder.

Today's message begins to answer the question, "What should be our view of Israel?” Has the church replaced Israel? Is there a separate path of salvation for Israel?

Recorded Sunday 13th September, 2026. We cannot earn salvation or make ourselves good enough for God; it is His undeserved gift, made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By faith, we receive God's grace, mercy and forgiveness, trusting that it is His work—not our performance—that saves us and carries us through.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast. Ep. 2:8-9

Throughout history, memorials have been raised to honour those who died so that others might live in freedom. But there is one death that stands above every other sacrifice - the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. His life was not taken from Him against His will; He deliberately laid it down because of His love for sinners. Yet the story did not end at the cross or inside a sealed tomb. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is alive today, ready and willing to save. Listen along as we consider the Man who died on the cross, the Saviour who now lives, and the salvation that He freely offers.

How are you saved? Is being a good person enough?Most of us have some kind of spiritual scoresheet. We look at the good we've done, the mistakes we have made, how often we go to church, or how our lives compare with everyone else. Some look at the score and think, "I've done enough." Others look at it and wonder, "Could God ever want someone like me?"But what if both are looking in the wrong direction?In this sermon from Ephesians 2:4-10, Pastor Jason Barnett explores what the Bible says about salvation, God's grace, faith in Jesus, and good works. Paul's answer is surprisingly freeing: salvation isn't something we accomplish or earn. It is God's gift, and the good things we do come after God makes us alive in Christ, not as a way of convincing Him to save us.Whether you're exploring Christianity, new to following Jesus, carrying regrets from your past, or have been in church your entire life, this message invites you to consider one important question: When you think about whether you are saved, are you looking at what Jesus has done or at what you have done?Put down the scoresheet. You are not saved by what you have done, but by what Jesus has done for you.Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

SERIES: Saved By Grace TITLE: Atoning Sacrifice The post Equipping Hour | Saved By Grace | Atoning Sacrifice first appeared on Redeemer Bible Church.

Here at Anchorpoint, we believe that the gospel message is the greatest story every told. The message itself never grows old. It tells us the most glorious, yet relevant truths we need to hear today. And people need to hear it. In our message today, speaker Dan Shutt takes a look at God's way of salvation in four different ways – all of them illustrating the superlative nature of what it presents - the greatest possible blessing, the fullest possible invitation, the simplest possible terms, and the highest possible authority. That's the gospel, my friend! Will you believe it?

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The goodness of the Gospel is for everyone. God is the God of both Jews and Gentiles, and He judges righteously. The only way for sinners to escape that judgment is by faith in Jesus – not by deeds of the law. Abram was a pagan Gentile, but God found him and gave him a promise. And Abram believed that promise. He was not justified by his works or even by his circumcision. Justification is a free gift of God, so none of us can boast of our own works. Stop trying to earn grace. God loves us because He chose to love us. We are counted righteous before God because of our standing in Jesus. Are you resting in Jesus alone?

The post Genesis 6v5-7v23 Saved By Grace appeared first on Calvary Chapel Crossover.

Your acceptance with God is not earned by your works but rests entirely on Christ's finished work on the cross. In this sermon on Galatians 3:1-14, Pastor Phil Hopper discusses how true acceptance by God comes through grace, not works. He unpacks the difference between justification and sanctification and reminds us that our faith is the only way we receive God's grace.  Christ died for us to bring us justification. He lives in us to sanctify us. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. If you struggle to find your worth in your performance, this sermon will teach you to rest in God's grace instead of striving for His approval.  Connect with us on Social Media↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books/   Listen to The Well Podcast⤵ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2   Find Your Next Step:https://alife.livingproof.co/ Watch More Sermons:https://abundant-life.com/sermons/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

“Have faith in yourself.” “Have faith in the system.” “Just believe.” In today's world, faith often means optimism or manifestation—but Scripture defines faith very differently. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef clears away the confusion with two essential truths. First, there is no power in faith by itself. Faith isn't a force; the object of faith is what gives it weight. If your faith is anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone, then you stand on unshakable ground—because Christ is powerful, victorious, and trustworthy. Second, faith is not the same as feelings. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as confidence and assurance—not emotional certainty. Faith says, “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” And to keep us from boasting in our “strong faith,” Dr. Youssef points to the deeper foundation beneath it all: even faith is God's gift. By grace, God raises believers up with Christ and saves them through faith—not by works—so all glory belongs to Jesus alone (Ephesians 2:6–9). Prayer: Father, You are the object of my faith. I rejoice knowing that my faith is not in vain because my faith is in You alone and not based on how I feel. You are always faithful and what You say will come to pass. I trust in Your Word and sovereign love. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

What does it look like to keep rejoicing in the mind blowing reality that we've been brought from death to life? This is what we're talking about today as we get stuck into Ephesians 2:1-10 together.

There's no way to navigate from here to heaven without going through Jesus Christ. Dr. Tony Evans explains why grace is the road that gets us there—and why trying to earn what God freely gives only leads us the wrong direction.
