What if everything you thought you knew about salvation was wrong? Join us as we unravel the profound Christian belief that salvation is entirely a work of divine grace and purely initiated by God, not by human effort. In this episode, we'll draw fascinating parallels between my deepening friendship with chef Nobu at Matsuhisa and the spiritual enrichment that comes from knowing God more intimately. This episode promises to illuminate the truth that a closer relationship with God brings richer spiritual blessings and a transformative experience.

We'll tackle the misconception that salvation is something we can achieve on our own. Drawing from scripture, we argue that our spiritual blindness and deafness prevent us from choosing salvation without Christ’s intervention. Through an in-depth discussion of doctrines like total depravity and sovereign election, we emphasize the necessity of divine grace in the salvation process. You’ll also understand why Jesus spoke in parables and how this aligns with God's selective gift of understanding, bringing into focus the justice and mercy of God in salvation and judgment.

Finally, we will address the sovereignty of God in salvation, discussing the nuanced roles of free will and divine intervention. Reflecting on powerful scriptures, we highlight how God's will is paramount in the salvation process and the transformative power of His grace. This episode is a call to appreciate the unity and faithfulness of all believers and the transformative impact of God’s grace in guiding us towards righteousness. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of these profound spiritual truths.
