Does the Bible actually teach the sinner’s prayer as the way to receive salvation? It’s Tuesday, which means a new episode of Resident Strangers is here!

This week, Steve and Rich are revisiting a topic from earlier this summer during the predestination series and bringing some clarification to a big question: What does it truly mean to believe?

They unpack what it means to genuinely place your faith in Jesus and what Scripture means when it talks about salvation, a word that can also mean deliverance. So what does salvation include? Is it simply forgiveness and the promise of heaven, or is there more to the life Jesus offers?

Rich also explores the question of how we can know someone is saved, while Sarah brings in the role of spiritual fruit and how it shows up in a believer’s life. Ultimately, only God and the individual can truly know the heart but one thing is clear: trusting Jesus changes everything. There’s a lot in this episode so listen in and take notes if needed!
