In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor Jim Wilshusen to discuss the nature of saving faith and why it matters for the Christian life.
Drawing on Johann Gerhard's writings on justification, they explore the difference between merely knowing the facts of Christianity and trusting in the promises of Jesus Christ. They discuss the "coal miner's faith," the importance of continued instruction in God's Word, and the Lutheran understanding of justification by faith alone.
Why does faith lead us to keep learning? How can Christians find certainty in the midst of doubt and feelings of inadequacy? And why is it so important to distinguish the fruits of faith from what makes faith saving?
Ultimately, our confidence rests not in how much we know, how strong our faith is, or what we have done, but in Christ and His promises.
