To be saved by Jesus, we need to put genuine faith in him.  In this episode, we explore three elements of genuine faith in Jesus, the kind of faith we need to be saved.  Surprisingly, real faith is not based on extensive biblical knowledge, nor is it always a strong faith.  At times, genuine faith will be mixed with doubts about some things. This episode will help you know if your faith in Jesus is real.

#8 Declared Righteous By God

For 2000 years, the followers of Jesus have been on a mission, even as Jesus himself was on a mission.
