Jan 25, 2026
A panel digs into Romans 4:3 and Paul's use of Genesis 15 to argue when Abraham’s righteousness was counted. They debate faith versus works and whether true faith can exist without visible deeds. Conversations touch on Catholic tradition, sola scriptura, and how scriptural context settles theological disputes. Light banter and stories punctuate deeper discussions about belief, promise, and human attempts to fulfill God’s plans.

Episode notes
INSIGHT

Scripture As The Ultimate Authority

  • Paul appeals directly to Scripture as the final authority in theological disputes.
  • Returning to the text avoids relying on tradition or popular opinion when interpreting justification.
INSIGHT

Faith That Produces Works

  • R.C. Sproul: 'Justification is by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone.'
  • True faith necessarily produces works, but those works are not the grounds for justification.
ADVICE

Expect Works From Genuine Faith

  • Remember that genuine faith will manifest in changed behavior and good works.
  • Do not mistake works as the ground of justification; they are the fruit of true faith.
