Sola Fide: Our Only Means
One of the main complaints against Justification by faith alone by those who wish to affiliate themselves with Judeo-Christian religion is that if it is by faith alone then we of all men can live like hellions while still ending up in heaven. I have little to say about such men, but that they are simply blinded and deaf. In the first place it is not even up for debate whether or not we are justified ...

Reformation Theology: An Introduction
492 years ago, on this day, October 31st, Martin Luther marked the beginning of the Reformation with his famous 95 theses. It was said that the hinge that the door of Christianity swings is on the doctrine of justification by faith, such is what was fought for at the time of the reformation, the reformers prior to Luther and those who went after him. Contrary though to popular belief the issue did not merely hang on ...

God’s Wrath is Coming. Are You Ready?
It has been a while since I've last listened to a sermon that is centered around the Biblical exposition of true repentance and saving faith in Christ. I fear that the preaching of true repentance and the examination of one's self in light of the mirror of God's Word is called to the people far to little today. Is it because of fear? Is it because of apathy in the comforts of the church hall? ...

We Need a Knowledge of an Irresistibly Glorious God
Justifying Faith Is Lust-Fighting Faith Are we not, then, saved by faith—by believing in Jesus Christ? We are indeed! Those who persevere in faith shall be saved ((Matthew 24:13; 10:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Colossians 1:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:13)). How do you lay hold on eternal life? Paul gives the answer in 1 Timothy 6:12—"Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life." That leads us to our main concern this morning—to show that the fight ...

Seeing Ourselves Ready to Perish…
"Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood." - Romans 3:25 The great privilege in the text is, to have Christ for a propitiation; which is not only to free us from God’s wrath, but to ingratiate us into his love and favour. The means of having Christ to be our propitiation is, ‘Faith in his blood.’ There is a twofold faith, Fides quae creditur [the faith which is believed], which ...
