What Does the Word Say?
Summary: What Does the Word Say? is produced by Grace and Glory Media, an outreach of Grace Valley Christian Center under the leadership of founder and Senior Pastor, Rev. P. G. Mathew. We believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and is the only rule for faith and conduct. Therefore, the purpose of this podcast is to explore biblical theology with a practical emphasis, always keeping in mind that what the Word says we must believe and obey. Our goal is to help build God’s church by edifying Christians and challenging unbelievers with the gospel, which alone is the power of God unto salvation.

Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ as Lord, which is fides specialis or special faith. This necessarily includes trusting in the Bible as his infallible Word, which is fides generalis or general faith. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/160-general-fait…nd-special-faith/
Saving faith is trust in Jesus Christ based on the truth of who he is and what he has done. We believe because we are born again and then accept the truth presented to us in the gospel. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/159-faith-is-trust/
We are not saved because of the extent of our knowledge about Christ but a trusting response to the true knowledge we have. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/158-saving-faith…rusting-response/
We cannot give a formal list of doctrines that must be believed to be a Christian, but true saving faith does require knowledge of the truth and placing our trust in Jesus Christ. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/157-the-object-o…-is-jesus-christ/
True saving faith requires that we agree with the facts as presented in the Bible, including miracles, and that we place our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/156true-faith-in…nsus-and-fiducia/
We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. The Roman Catholic church misunderstands the proper role of faith and adds the requirement of works and the mediation of the church, which is unbiblical. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/155-the-protestant-reformation/
Saving faith is penitent faith, which unites us to Jesus Christ so that his sacrifice atoned for our sins and we receive his righteousness. No other faith will save us. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/154-penitent-faith/
True repentance and saving faith always occur together. When a man is born again he sees how awful his sin is and how glorious Christ is and turns from his sin in repentance and to Christ in faith. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/153-conversion/
The first thing a born-again person will do is repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ. True repentance is not just feeling sorry for the consequences of your sin, but being grieved that you have offended the holy God and hating your sin. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/152-repentance/

No one can truly repent and believe in Jesus Christ unless the Father draws him. But when God effectually calls someone, the call is accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit to regenerate the person, which guarantees that he or she will willingly respond to the gospel with true repentance and faith. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/149-why-gods-call-is-effectual/
Biblical thinking requires that we born again, that we train ourselves in the Word of God, and that we crucify our old nature and live for God, not ourselves. And it always takes into account the Creator/creature distinction. God is able to solve problems that we can’t see how to solve. This kind of thinking leads to living powerful, holy lives for God’s glory. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/148-examples-of-biblical-thinking/
We are commanded to make our calling and election sure. We do that by looking for the changed life that always results from new birth. The New Testament gives us many tests we can use to examine ourselves. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/147-making-your-…nd-election-sure/
Christians should always strive to think biblically, but doing so is especially important in times of serious trouble like we are experiencing now during the coronavirus pandemic. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/146-thinking-biblically/
