Video Description:
Jesus calls believing “the work of God” in John 6:29. How does that fit with NeedGod.net’s teaching on faith alone?
Sam Shamoun examines faith, obedience, and eternal life through the words of Jesus and Paul. From believing and confessing in Romans 10 to remaining in Christ in John 15, this biblical response challenges the claim that obedience has no role in persevering toward eternal life.
The central question: Does requiring a response to God mean earning salvation—or can obedience itself depend entirely on Christ’s grace?
In this video:
- Why Jesus calls believing “the work of God”
