Description

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are discussing a passage from John’s gospel in their “Tough Texts” series. John 5:28-29 seems to say that doing good (vs. believing) will bring everlasting life. How can this be reconciled to the rest of what John says about being given everlasting life by believing for it? Please listen and never miss an episode of the Grace in Focus Podcast!
