Unshakeable Confidence

How can you be sure God loves you? How can you be certain that when you die you will enter straight into heaven? How can you be sure suffering will not destroy you along the way? This passage answers all of these questions (and more), and the answers centre on one thing: justification by faith.

Faith Alone

One of the blessings of justification by faith is the assurance of salvation that it gives. By looking at the life of Abraham, we’ll consider why justification by faith alone is the only basis for real assurance, and what kind of faith it is that receives justification.

Boasting Excluded

Boasting is building confidence based on your performance, especially if you can out-perform others. One of the effects of receiving justification by faith is that it squeezes out all boasting. This sermon considers why it does that, and what effect that can have on how we relate to other people.
