The doctrine of justification by faith is a cornerstone of our faith, offering assurance and comfort to all who believe. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God has graciously cleared our ledger of sin, declaring us righteous and freeing us from the weight of eternal punishment. This act of divine grace is not a gradual process but an immediate change in our legal standing before God. It is not based on our efforts or righteousness but on Christ’s atoning work.
Week 6 - The Faith of Abraham
October 6, 2024 • Matthew Allen • Romans 4
It must be understood that trusting one’s obedience as a way of retaining salvation is far from being only a Jewish problem. It is still a problem today for Christians who struggle with legalism. So, Paul is also working to defend the cross. Faith + works nullify the cross, Galatians 3.21.
Week 4 - The Order of Salvation
September 22, 2024 • Matthew Allen, Justin Spargo, John Key • John 3:16–18
The blood of Christ brings complete satisfaction for sin to God. Since this is true, we must understand how we benefit from that shed blood. What must we do to have the blood applied to our souls to cover our sins?
September 8, 2024 • Matthew Allen, John Key, Justin Spargo • Titus 3:5–6, Colossians 1:14, Colossians 2:14–15
No one else can offer the salvation that Jesus provides (Acts 4:12). His ability to give life, authority over life and death, and sinlessness qualify Him alone to save.
