God continues to work through Dallas today and will for many years to come. I watch and listen to a teaching session of his almost daily. Today is 5/26/24. ✝️

Evan, protect these lessons, keep them safe, at all cost...with your very life. They have saved my soul. Thank you so much for sharing these teachings that my spirit "so craved, and was gasping for air so long" --to hear them.

Thanks, Evan. I needed to hear this tonight - what a devout, wise and gentle man.

Evan, Thanks for unveiling these divinely insightful words from a man who showed a Jesus few know and follow the way Dallas knew and followed Him.

Thanks for putting this out.

Evan: Thank you for these wonderful uploads of Dallas! If you are on Facebook, you may want to check out the public group, "Dallas Willard Is My Homeboy." I know many would be thrilled to know of these recordings! Thank you for taking the time to share these talks.

Yea, that's teacher in Spiritual Formation at Renovare Institute.

If Jesus abolished death, then what about the people who died before knowing of Jesus?

[@evanprothro4392]

A great question. Scripture teaches we're saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8 and others). Paul in Romans 4, referencing Genesis 15:6 indicates it was this same "by grace through faith" for Abraham, even though he died prior to Jesus's atoning death. How God handles the mysteries of time and other complications (access to God's word, age or mental capacity of the person, etc) are ripe for debate and speculation, but as Dallas has said in other books and talks "well, we can trust God with those too" knowing that "He will come down on the side of fair". :)

⁠@@evanprothro4392Yes, it is a great question. 16:29, 17:17
