One of the most misunderstood questions in Christianity:
Are we saved by faith… or by works?

In this episode, Dr. Brent Simpson brings clarity to the debate by breaking down what salvation really means—not just as a moment, but as a process of transformation. You’ll discover how Paul and James are not in conflict, but in agreement—and how your faith isn’t just meant to get you to heaven, but to bring heaven to earth.

If you've ever wrestled with legalism, grace, or what it means to truly follow Jesus, this is the teaching you need.

 

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Ephesians 2:8–10 — Saved by grace through faith… for good works
• James 2:17 — Faith without works is dead
• Romans 3:28 — Justified by faith apart from the works of the law
• Matthew 6:10 — “On earth as it is in heaven”
• Romans 6:22 & 8:19 — Holiness, transformation, and Kingdom responsibility

 

🧠 Topics Covered:

• The 3 stages of salvation: Justification, Sanctification, Glorification
• Why justification is by faith alone—but sanctification requires your obedience
• How Paul and James actually complement each other
• The danger of reducing salvation to a one-time prayer
• Why our calling isn’t to “go to heaven” but to bring heaven to earth

 

✨ Big Ideas:

• We are saved from sin by faith…
  But we are saved into wholeness through works empowered by the Spirit.
• Heaven is your destination, but participation in the Kingdom is your calling.
• Jesus didn’t die just to get you into heaven.
  He died to get heaven into you—now.
