Bob Wilkins was a significant figure in the realm of Free Grace Theology and a co-founder of the Grace Evangelical Society (GES). His influence and contributions have left a lasting impact on discussions surrounding salvation, grace, and assurance within the evangelical community.

As a proponent of Free Grace Theology, Wilkins emphasized that eternal salvation is solely received through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from any ongoing works or commitments. He staunchly defended the idea that a person can have assurance of their salvation based on their initial faith in Christ, advocating for a clear distinction between salvation and discipleship.

The Grace Evangelical Society, co-founded by Wilkins, was established to promote and disseminate these ideas. Through publications, conferences, and resources, GES aimed to articulate and defend the Free Grace perspective while engaging in thoughtful dialogue with other theological viewpoints.

While Wilkins and GES gained a following among those who resonated with their interpretation of grace and salvation, their views also sparked debates and disagreements within the broader evangelical community. Wilkins’ legacy lies in his unwavering commitment to challenging traditional notions of salvation and advocating for a grace-centered understanding that emphasizes the freeness of God’s gift of eternal life to all who believe.
