No Assurance in Eastern Orthodoxy (w/ Ryan Hemelaar)

About this episode

Can salvation really depend on your performance, obedience, or religious works? Jon Moffitt sits down with Ryan Hemelaar from NeedGod.net to examine the gospel of grace and the growing appeal of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. They discuss justification by faith alone, assurance of salvation, and why adding human works to Christ's finished work undermines the believer's rest. The conversation also explores why true obedience flows from gratitude and love for Christ, rather than fear of losing salvation. Ultimately, the focus returns to the sufficiency of Christ and the rest found in his righteousness alone.
