Salt and Light

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

We discuss the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We received a phone call on that tragic day and were asked the question "What if that had been me?" That's why the gospel message must be proclaimed far and wide. We need a sense of urgency to share the message of Jesus Christ.

  • Bob shares from the heart about the division in our world today. Satan uses fear to control and enslave people. Pay attention to what's going on and stand your ground. Be salt and light in the world and receive Christ Jesus.
  • Sean shares his thoughts about 9/11 and the fate of those who perished.
  • Don asks about James 5:15. Is it about believers or unbelievers?

Location and Relationship

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Every human being wants to know how to be close to God. Eternal life is defined in John 17:4 - it is knowing Him relationally, from the heart. We are in Christ and Christ is in us. That's the closeness of location. But there's another kind of closeness - that of friendship through the heart. That's the closeness of relationship.

  • Why did Jesus say "Go and sin no more?"

Simple and Straightforward

Andrew Farley, Bob Davis

The Christian world complicates what is simple. Salvation is simple and straightforward. The Bible plainly says "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved". When you get hold of this simple message you understand you are saved and sustained by God.

  • UNITED Conference - October 15-17, 2021 https://basicgospel.net/united/
  • Carol asks how to know for sure she is saved.
  • Clay asks about Romans 8:4-5. Is the mind of man hostile to God?
  • Robert asks about Matthew 7:22-23. Is this passage talking about unbelievers or believers?
  • Louis asks about 1 John 3. Does this mean that believers do not sin?
  • Chris asks why would God cast Satan down to earth and then put his creation in the same place?
  • Kurt asks about 'seek and ye shall find'. Haven't we already found Him?

The Top Ten: Hebrews 10:1-18

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

Hebrews 10 is the chapter Bob has taught more than any other. This chapter explains what it means that Christ died for our sins. It takes a deep look at the perfect sacrifice; the shed blood of Jesus Christ. This chapter will anchor you to the truth of his love for you. Hebrews 10:1-18

Believe in the One He Has Sent

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

A special Labor Day broadcast! The Word of God has a lot to say about work. Today we take a look at just a few passages that speak to work. The work of God is this - to believe in the One he has sent (John 6:29-30). Our work is simple faith in Jesus Christ. Paul had a labor of love to share the good news of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:8-9). He reminds us, "your labor in the Lord is not in vain." We are called to live by faith. As we do, we will see incredible things happen in and through our lives. We are God's workmanship and we have been created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:8-9). As we live by faith in Jesus, the work we are called to do, we will see good works flowing in and through us. Where do these good works take place? Only in church? Only on mission fields? No, it's in everyday life! As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 3:22 "I saw that there was nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work." We hope you enjoy this special edition of Basic Gospel!

Identified by God's Grace

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed." 1 Corinthians 15:10 Everything about Paul from the moment he met Jesus was given to him by the grace of God. And that's the same for you and me.

God Works in You

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

So many ask, "How can I be close to God?" And often that has to do with feeling. They want to feel close to God. But closeness to God has to do with location, not a feeling. Our feelings change, but the truth of Christ in you will never change. We are one with Him in spirit. "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Philippians 2:12-13

  • Can you explain the "With fear and trembling" part?
  • A caller asks about Hebrews 8:13. Why do so many continue to live under the Old Covenant when "... what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away."?
  • Ryan calls to say "thank you" to Basic Gospel Nation for prayers and support during his struggle with brain cancer.
  • How did reconciliation occur before Jesus?

A Door of Grace

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis, Andrew Farley

"The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:23-25 Because Jesus lives forever he has a permanent priesthood and he is able to save us completely.

  • Would you give me a little insight on Matthew 7:7-11? What is the context and how does it relate to us, the church, today?

One God, One Lord

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

How do we draw near to God? Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God took the initiative to solve our problem through the gift of His Son. "yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist." 1 Corinthians 8:6 "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. ..." Colossians 2:16-23

Your God Will Never Leave You

Bob Christopher, Bob Davis

You and I as believers in Christ are as close to Jesus as we'll ever get. "Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:5,6 " Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" Hebrews 13:5

  • Did Paul die at the hands of the Jews and was he raised to life by Jesus Christ?
  • Tom calls to ask about "All Scripture is inspired by God...".
