There's something in the human heart that longs to be self-reliant. But when it comes to religion, this desire to "earn our own way" can be absolutely deadly and lead us away from the gospel. Pastor Mike describes the danger of self-made religion and the true purpose of good deeds.
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?
