"We've all seen the tracts, “How to Be 100% Sure of Heaven” detailing a five-to-six step program capped off by reciting the sinner's prayer. Perhaps we've been led or even led someone through "The Roman's Road" or "The Four Spiritual Laws."
But is the gospel primarily about our own salvation? How we can go to heaven when we die? Or is it somehow even bigger, grander, and more whole-cosmos oriented than this?" — Apr 15, 2026 11:25AM

“The word translated “favor” in Genesis 6:8 is the Hebrew hen, which also means “grace.” With that in mind, there are two ways that this pivotal moment of the biblical narrative could be taken. The first is that Noah, because he was righteous and blameless in his own strength, attracted God’s attention and found divine favor. The second is that Noah was given grace on God’s free initiative, not because of any good behavior or spark of potential on Noah’s part, and that as a result of receiving grace he is righteous and blameless. Both the fuller context of a biblical understanding of God’s undeserved grace and the order of the propositions in verses 8 and 9 militate in favor of the latter interpretation.”

“Neither we nor the universe are necessary. We may be important, precious, glorious even, but preciously and gloriously unnecessary.”
