| 0:00.0 | Will we see Jesus, but not the Father in heaven? That's just one of the questions we'll be |
| 0:10.7 | answering on today's edition of Core Christianity. Well, hi, I'm Bill Meyer along with Pastor |
| 0:16.1 | Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions about the Bible and the |
| 0:21.6 | Christian life every day. We'd love to hear from you, and our phone lines are open for the next |
| 0:26.7 | 25 minutes or so. Here's the number. It's 833-the-core. That's 1-833-843-243-2673. Of course, |
| 0:36.1 | you can always email us your question at Questions at Core Christianity.com, |
| 0:41.0 | and you can post your question at one of our social media sites and watch Adriel right now live in |
| 0:46.3 | the studio on YouTube and message us that way. Let's start off with one of our callers in Springfield, |
| 0:52.8 | Missouri. Let's say hi to Jacqueline. |
| 0:55.4 | Jacqueline, what's your question for, Pastor Adriel? |

| 1:14.0 | heaven. So my question is, what does it mean for the person who believe that on one hand, |
| 1:19.3 | Jesus died for all of our sins, but on the other hand, there's still a purgatory. |
| 1:24.7 | Yeah, thank you for that question. You know, the reality is, I think, when we approach the Lord, praise God that we're not saved |
| 1:32.4 | by our perfect understanding of how salvation works, but by Jesus Christ. |
| 1:38.0 | Faith is what saves us, but it's not the strength of our faith or the perfection of our |
| 1:43.4 | faith. |
| 1:49.0 | It's the object of our faith. It's Jesus Christ. And so even if we were confused about certain things with regard to how salvation works, so long as it doesn't strike at the vitals of the gospel, |
| 1:55.0 | well, we can still be saved even if we're confused about certain things. And it sounds like there's some confusion here. |
