| 0:13.0 | Do you do you do you do you do |
| 0:15.0 | do you do The Bible is clear that we can't earn our salvation through our good deeds or through right behavior. It is Jesus alone who redeem us. So does that mean |
| 0:37.1 | we're now free to live however we want under the umbrella of God's grace? |
| 0:41.8 | Today on Truth for Life, Alistairbegg looks at how the |
| 0:44.4 | Apostle John clarified the balance between obedience and love. Two John, and we're going to simply read the first six verses, the elder to the chosen lady |
| 1:01.9 | and her children whom I love in the truth and not only myself |
| 1:06.0 | but also all who know the truth because of the truth which lives in us and will be with us forever. |
