The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Do unbelievers have a spirit too? What part of us died with Christ? What does the Bible say about donating one's body to science? Are Gentiles under the new covenant? My wife tells me she doesn't believe in God anymore. I've been praying for her, but I don't know what else to do?

Does God need to "break" us in order to use us? How do we help those who are grieving? Do believers need to tithe 10%? How did those described in Matthew 7 do miracles if they weren't true believers? How can we be held accountable for not believing if only some people are chosen anyway?

Do we need to examine ourselves before the Lord's Supper? How do some Christians believe in eternal life but not in "once saved, always saved"? What does 1 John 3 mean about our hearts condemning us?

What does it mean to believe in the name of Jesus? I don’t understand James 3:1. Will preachers be judged more harshly? When I sin, how much remorse should I feel for it to be true repentance? What about people who think they need to keep the Ten Commandments? Are they saved?

Teaching Edition: Is 1 John 1:9 a "bar of soap" for daily cleansing? What is the true meaning of this important passage? How can we more fully celebrate the finished work of Christ?

Can those who miss the return of Christ still be saved later? Is water baptism necessary for salvation? When we sin, do we move out from under God's protection? How does Romans 8:30 play into predestination? Why did Paul engage in purification rituals in Acts 21? What role does obedience play in salvation? Did Jesus spend three days in Hell? Why don't more preachers share the finished work of Christ?

We believers often wonder: Can I lose my salvation? Can I mess this up? What if I keep on struggling? What if I wake up one day and stop believing or stop loving God? These questions can weigh us down or even nag at us daily.

In this message, I share the truth about how safe and secure we really are in Jesus. Ultimately, it’s about deciding whether our God is a truth-teller or a liar. That’s right – it really comes down to the character of God. Why? Because in Scripture, we see so many promises that God will never leave us, never forsake us, and that nothing separates us from His love.

So, who are you going to believe? Find the encouragement and confidence you need to believe God at His word in my new message, “God Says: You Are Safe!”

Should we celebrate Christmas if it has pagan roots? If so, how and when? My wife and I are married and have a child. Our relationship is growing toxic, and I’m thinking of divorce. What is your advice? How do we interpret the Matthew 25 parable about the virgins and the oil?

Do we face judgment immediately after dying? What happens at the final judgment? I thought I was already saved, but then I had an experience that made me believe I got saved again. And then all those feelings were lost. Now I'm just confused. Have I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can you help?
