The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this continuation of his talk, Steve Gregg delves into a few specific biblical verses and parables to shed light on eternal destiny. He discusses the importance of repentance and the consequences of adultery in marriage, emphasizing the value of pleasing God rather than focusing solely on earthly desires. Gregg examines the story of the rich man and the beggar in Luke chapter 16, offering insights on the spiritual lessons of the parable and how it refutes certain beliefs such as soul sleep and spiritualism. He also explains the importance of works as a reflection of faith, rather than a means of earning salvation.
