In this episode, Danny and Shane discuss Colossians 1 and review the Trinity and the concept of Grace and Once Saved Always Saved.
Verses on God's Grace
- Ephesians 2:8–9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
- Romans 5:8 – “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
- Titus 3:5–7 – “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit
