In this episode, Grant Castleberry explores the promise of salvation as described in Romans 5:1–8, turning his attention to the profound hope Christians hold: the anticipated return of Jesus Christ. This hope is not just a distant possibility but a solid assurance—Christ’s return for His church is not a question but a certainty that fuels the believer's confidence and faith.

The doctrine of Solus Christus, or Christ alone, is the heartbeat of Reformation Theology. That is, Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation. In other words, you don’t need anyone else—like saints or priests, and you don’t need anything—like your good works. In today’s episode, Grant explains why and how Christ alone is the only path of salvation. He also introduces us to the Reformer, John Calvin, and what Calvin had to say on the subject of Christ alone.

Being spiritually "clean" is inseparable from being a true follower of Christ—a purity not earned by our own efforts but granted through our union with Him, the true Vine. This vital connection is made possible by the Word of God, which brings new life to those who believe. When God’s Word is spoken and received, it plants seeds of faith that grow within us. Just as a branch draws life from the Vine by being attached, we are spiritually sustained and nourished by remaining connected to Christ through the lasting strength and grace of His Word.
