Episode 451 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I’ve come across a teaching that says, on one hand, that a person is saved by grace through faith, yet it also says that works play a role in the final judgment and are “necessary” for salvation. This is a confusing teaching. Is this a biblical understanding of salvation?  2. Why the focus on homosexuality if divorce is more prevalent and equally a sin?  3. If my heart is pure will it outweigh my worldly ways?  4. When she was younger, my wife was molested. She feels God brought her into the world only to be taken advantage of. I try to talk to her about the gospel, how all our pain and anguish are answered in the gospel. I feel inadequate in being able to guide her or to turn to Scripture to show here what it is that I find is my comfort. My question is, what do I do? Where do I go to be able to help guide her as she is going through this and help her understand that the gospel isn’t only for when you die, but for now, when you are alive here on earth?
