Summary

The message of Christianity seems simple: believe in Jesus and you'll be saved. But many people try to add requirements like religious rituals, good works, or a particular heritage. Dr. Robert Jeffress explains why none of those extras can earn God's favor. We must be made right with God through faith in Christ. To support Pathway to Victory, go to ptv.org/donate.
