Topic: Sin


  • 16 - Is There a Sin God Does Not Forgive?
    Both believers and unbelievers sometimes express fear that they have committed a sin that is unforgivable. This steals the joy of their salvation.

  • 24 - Eternally Secure     Podcast
    Can a person once saved ever lose or forfeit that salvation?

  • 26 - Suicide and Salvation
    A commonly asked question is whether a born-again believer who commits suicide will still go to heaven.

  • 33 - The Extent of God's Forgiveness
    This passage says that God has forgiven believers all their trespasses, or sins. Does all include every kind of sin no matter when it was committed?

  • 45 - Can the Willful Sin of Hebrews 10:26 be forgiven?
    Some argue from this that willful or continual sin cannot be forgiven and salvation can be lost, or that those in view of judgment were never really saved to begin with.

  • 58 - Do Believers Need to Confess Their Sins for Forgiveness?
    Some say that confession is unnecessary since all the believer's sins are forgiven already. What is the scriptural perspective?

  • 59 - Real Christians Don't Sin? - 1 John 3:6
    If John establishes the fact that Christians sin in chapter 1, how can he say later that Christians do not sin? An incorrect interpretation of these verses has caused many Christians to doubt their salvation.

  • 85 - Grace Lessons from the Parable of the Prodigal Son
    This familiar story depicts God's love for sinners, and indeed that is the main point, but there is much to learn here about God's magnificent grace. In the context, Jesus answers the Pharisees who criticize His love for sinners (Luke 15:2-3) with three stories. The story of the lost son especially illustrates God's love for sinners as an overcoming, amazing, and misunderstood love.

  • 103 - Roman Catholicism, Grace, and Salvation
    What does Roman Catholicism (RC) teach about how a person can be saved eternally? The RC view of salvation is derived from their beliefs about grace, justification, and the atonement, but are they biblical?
