We live in a world that does not know God. As Paul shares his testimony in Acts 26, his commission from Christ includes a clear vision of the need of the world. The world ultimately must be changed by the powerful message of the Gospel. We must share the gospel with a world that does not know God.

The Certainty of Our Salvation

podcast@bethanybiblechurch.net (Bethany Bible Church) — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 21:22:30 -0600

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact and a present-day reality. Our salvation rests on the truth that Jesus Christ rose from the grave and is now seated at the Father’s right hand as our personal advocate. The burden of proof is not on believers to give evidence that it happened, but on unbelievers who stand to face eternal damnation unless they experience salvation through the risen Christ. The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth following his crucifixion has never been disproved, and cannot be disproved based on eye-witness accounts and contemporary records.
