Hello, and welcome to GROW: A Bible Podcast! Today, we're diving back into Romans 5, discussing the interplay between faith and works and the importance of perseverance in the Christian life. We explore Paul's teachings on grace, particularly addressing common misunderstandings about faith versus works as highlighted in the Book of James. The conversation also touches on tithing, obedience to the law, and the profound relationship between money and the heart. As we dissect Romans 5:3-8, we discuss suffering, character development, and the transformative power of God's love. Join us for an in-depth look at how perseverance through suffering leads to hope and how Christians can bring these principles into their daily lives.
