Today’s episode focused on listener questions regarding salvation. Fr Aaron explained that there are different ways to approach this issue, which lead to a discussion around legalism as well as those looking for just the minimum requirements so that they can get to heaven without doing more than is necessary. As for the legalistic approach, there is something to be said here as we all will ultimately be declared either righteous or unrighteous. But we should understand that there are none who are righteous, and so in receiving this “not guilty” verdict at the Final Judgement, we must recognize that we receive this verdict only by God’s grace. And in return, we are expected to love our neighbor and be merciful even as our Father in heaven is merciful.
