Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1108 (02-26-26)

Jesus Came to Give Life to the Dead

~ “The thief comes only that he might steal and might kill and might destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” John 10:10

~ Salvation is when the Life of God, through His Holy Spirit of coming to live inside of you and the two become one. Your spirit is merged with His Spirit.

~ “But the one being joined to the Lord is one spirit.” 1 Corinthians 6:17

~ When a person is joined with God’s Spirit, they become a new creation in Christ Jesus.

~ “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, the new has come into being.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

~ Now, when a person is in Christ Jesus, and Christ is in them, they are to count themselves dead to sin. For sin no longer holds its power on them. For they have been freed from the power of sin, which is in the law, and now walk in His Life.

~ “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” Romans 6:18

~ So count yourself dead to sin, but alive in Christ Jesus.

Bob George discusses the distinction between discipline and punishment in Christianity, emphasizing that discipline is ongoing and preparatory, not retaliatory. He explains that the root of all sin is unbelief in Jesus, and true salvation involves receiving life through Jesus’ resurrection, not just forgiveness of sins. Bob advises against seeking forgiveness through sacrificial systems or confessionism (of asking for forgiveness from God) because the sin issue was taken care of at the cross by God Himself. Bob mentions that the truth of what salvation really is is when the life of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, comes to live in a person and is called ETERNAL LIFE as well. He also encourages believers to focus on faith and not worry about economic or health issues. Bob clarifies that water baptism is not necessary for salvation and that true salvation is through faith in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.

“That’s very honest. And here’s that, here’s the deal, Michael, because I’ve dealt with this for years. There’s many, many people that say I came to Christ, but my life is just a mess. And I asked them this question. I’m going to ask you the question, what was your understanding of the gospel when you were saved? And the answer will come back nine times out of 10. Jesus died for my sins. Is that it? That’s it. That’s not the gospel. That’s only half of the gospel. He died and he was buried and he was raised from the dead. Do you know the meaning of the Cross? Yeah, that’s where he took away my sins. But you don’t believe it. What about the meaning of the resurrection? What’s the meaning of the resurrection? Well, that’s where Jesus offered me life, His resurrected life. I never came to him for life. I just came to him to get forgiven. And so you’re not saved when on that event, you’re not saved by the half gospel. And so even with my own son, I had to ask this question, and after he I prayed with me when he was nine years old, and sitting in my office when he was 20, was with his life a mess. Why? He had a half gospel. I certainly couldn’t blame the presentation. I’m the one who gave it to him, but I did not give him an understanding at that time that salvation is not getting your sins forgiven, salvation is receiving life, resurrected, life, and that life is what Christ came to give you. I came that you might have life. So do exactly, and that’s what saves you absolutely, though the cross is what prepared you for salvation. It was preparatory, but the salvation end of it comes through His resurrection. There’s a life that you need that you do not have. It’s called spiritual life. Also is called eternal life, but you cannot have eternal life until you have his spiritual life, because that’s what his spiritual life is, is eternal. So what you’re getting is a life living in you that you did not have when you were born. It wasn’t your fault. You’re born in your in Adam, in your mom and dad. You were born dead. And as a dead spiritually person, this person who is spiritually dead, they need spiritual life. And so there’s where the resurrection comes in. So analyze those two Michael, and if you feel like that, you have not come to him at this point in life for His resurrected life. That’s merely as clear as saying, Lord, I thank you for revealing this to me, and I want to thank you right now. I’m going to take care of this sin issue once and for all. You’re never going to hear me asking for what I already have. I thank you for that forgiveness, and I now ask you to come into my heart and to be my Lord and my Savior and to give me that life, your life, so that Christ will live in me and be my hope of glory.” Bob George

John 6:28,29

28 Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.”

Behold Jesus, the Lamb of God Who Took Away the Sins of the World and the World

Lord Jesus, teach me the TRUTH of the world we live in today and the Truth of You
