The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What's going on in John 21 concerning Judas and the betrayal of Jesus? I am doubting my salvation, and I get anxious about the final judgement. Can you help me? I have heard conflicting accounts of what Satan was strategizing. What are your thoughts? Do the Jews still perform sacrifices? If not, how do they think they will be forgiven?

Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Why does God tell some people "depart from Me"? Is a believer free to remarry if their previous spouse is still alive?

How can we know we are forgiven? What is the meaning of the scapegoat in the Old Testament? How is the Gospel not about words but about power? Is salvation progressive? Was Jesus actually tempted for real? Should we not work on the Sabbath? Can you explain what happens exactly at the final judgment?

10 Things You've Never Heard on Easter Sunday!

Do we have to be reconciled as good friends with people who have hurt us? What do you think about prayers asking the Holy Spirit to "come down" and "fall fresh" on us? What are your thoughts on dinosaurs, the age of the Earth, and creation as they relate to the Bible? If we are totally forgiven and under grace, then are we judged for our deeds at the final judgment?

Why do you think we interpret so many Bible passages in a legalistic way? How can I know if I am one of God's chosen or if I can't be saved? I can't stop examining myself, and I think I'm a bad person (like Nabal from the Old Testament). Can you help?

How was circumcision a foreshadowing of the new covenant? What role does baptism really play? What about the Lord’s Supper? How does 1 Corinthians 3 fit with a grace-based understanding of the final judgment?

What do you think of expressions like "allow God" or "let God" or "surrender to God"? Are there two final judgment events or just one? Is it possible to be in a heretical movement or cult and still be saved? What is biblical fasting?

To whom should we pray - Father, Son, or Holy Spirit? What is the final judgment like? In John 5, Jesus says that Moses wrote about Him. Where exactly? Are there any Scriptures that support "once saved, always saved"?
