Can someone be beyond the reach of God’s grace? Many people believe certain sins are too serious, too shameful, or too deeply rooted to be forgiven. But Scripture tells a better story.In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why the gospel is good news for every kind of sinner. Looking at Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:9, and 1 Corinthians 6:11, Dave shows that Christ’s saving work is sufficient to forgive, cleanse, justify, sanctify, and transform everyone who comes to Him in repentance and faith.Listen and Watch
