If believers are saved by grace, do the Ten Commandments still matter?

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw looks at Matthew 5:17 and explains how Jesus fulfilled the law without discarding it. The commandments were never meant to earn salvation but to reveal God’s character and expose our need for Christ.

When understood through the lens of grace, the commandments become a guide for living in ways that honor God and love others.

Miracles in the Bible were never meant to be spectacles. They were signs pointing to something far greater.

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw explores John 20:30–31 and explains how miracles reveal the identity and authority of Jesus. They confirm God’s message and direct attention to Christ rather than to the miracle itself.

God is still powerful and able to intervene today, but the greatest miracle of all is the transformation of a sinner into a child of God.

Many believers wrestle with the same question: if God hears our prayers, why do some requests seem unanswered?

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw walks through 1 John 5:14–15 and explains how God truly does answer every prayer — though His answers are not always the “yes” we expect. Sometimes the answer is no, sometimes it’s not yet, and sometimes it unfolds differently than we imagined.

Even when outcomes are unclear, believers can trust that every prayer is heard and that God responds with wisdom, love, and eternal perspective.

“Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” That phrase in Philippians 2:12 can sound intimidating if it’s misunderstood.

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw explains the difference between working for salvation and working out salvation. Scripture makes it clear that salvation is a gift of grace through Christ, not something we earn through effort.

When believers grow in obedience, they’re not trying to achieve God’s love — they’re responding to a new life already placed within them.

Why does the Bible say the Fruit of the Spirit — not fruits?
