Many in our world carry with them through life a me-centered mentality. It’s easy for us to think the world revolves around us. Now take that into the spiritual realm, and all too many think the point of salvation is us as well. In reality God, is the center of the Gospel. Pastor Mike Fabarez will draw that out from Matthew nineteen today on Focal Point. And in the passage before us Jesus spends some time talking about eternal life with a rich young ruler. It’s important to notice that Jesus has this young man ponder God’s perfection to start off with. That’s the place for us to start as well.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
