Saved By Grace Or According To Works | Dr. Michael Heiser

Support Dr. Heiser's ministry at https://nakedbiblepodcast.com In this episode, Dr. Michael Heiser talks with Dr. Kent Yinger about one of Paul’s most debated tensions: are believers **saved by grace through faith**, or **judged according to works**? The discussion explores Romans 2, Paul’s theology of judgment, Second Temple Judaism, covenant loyalty, and how obedience reveals the true allegiance of the heart without becoming the basis of salvation. #BibleStudy #MichaelHeiser #NakedBiblePodcast #KentYinger #SavedByGrace #JudgedByWorks #Romans2 #PaulineTheology #SecondTempleJudaism #FaithAndWorks #BiblicalTheology #CovenantLoyalty #ScriptureStudy \\------------------------\\ Help Support ASFJ: https://aseatforjesus.com/a-seat-for-jesus Website: https://aseatforjesus.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeatForJesus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aseatforjesus X: https://x.com/ASeatForJesus 0:00 The Tension Between Grace and Works 1:22 Meet New Testament Scholar Kent Yinger 2:51 Paul, Judaism, and Judgment According to Deeds 6:08 Understanding Second Temple Judaism 10:32 How Scholars Have Tried to Reconcile Paul 21:27 Did the Old Testament Teach Works Salvation? 28:35 The Temptation of Superiority in Ancient Judaism 40:40 What Does the Final Judgment Accomplish?
