Repentance has almost become a forgotten word in the modern day church, but it is very much a part of the Gospel message. Last time on Focal Point, Pastor Mike Fabarez stressed that repentance and faith are both a work of God, and not something we can drum up on our own. And with that as a backdrop, we’ll spend some time today discussing what repentance is all about. Then we’ll transition to the other component of our response to the Gospel, and that’s faith. We hear that term tossed around quite a bit these days, but do we understand what biblical faith is? Here now to encourage us to rely on Christ and nothing else for forgiveness, is Pastor Mike once again.
There are many in our world that will say the Bible is made up; it's just a bunch of stories with no historical foundation. Why should anyone believe any of it? But when we look at the archaeological evidence from the ancient Holy Lands, we find that their world confirms the truths of the Bible...it continually proves the Bible to be true. Be sure to request the book The Essential Archaeological Guide to the Bible Lands with your generous donation this month.
