Episode notes
Faith Alone Justifies
- Justification is by faith alone, never by works or transformed life as the ground of assurance.
- Good works and changed life serve only as evidence, not the proof, of true faith.
Repentance Distinguishes Believers
- True believers can live sinful lives but remain repentant and aware of sin.
- The difference is unrepentant sin signals no genuine faith, not ongoing sin itself.
Use Law and Gospel Properly
- Address nominal Christians by law and gospel: expose sin, then preach Christ for salvation.
- Avoid telling sinners to just try harder; lead them to repentance through grace and love.
