A dominant view is that a Christian is a person who does good works and that these good works merit eternal life. This view is sometimes drawn from the parable of the “Good Samaritan.” In this talk we look at this view to see if it stands up to biblical scrutiny and address the issue of what Jesus is really teaching in this parable. It may surprise you.

It seems like there are lots of laws to obey and God always seems mad. There is teaching that is hard to follow and understand. It seems in places like the Bible contradicts itself. There are challenges to interpreting the Bible to be sure. But there is a way in which to make sense of it. That is what we will discuss in this talk.
