In this episode, Jeff and Pastor Jay discuss Sola Fide, the Reformation teaching that we are justified by faith alone. They explain its biblical foundation, how faith differs from works, the relationship between faith and justification, and common misunderstandings inside and outside the church.

Scripture mentioned:

James 2:14 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/14/s_1148014

What good is it, my brothers, if someone s3ays he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

James 2:17 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/17/s_1148017

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

James 2:26 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/jas/2/26/s_1148026

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Romans 8:1 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/8/1/s_1054001

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:9 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2co/5/9/s_1083009

So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

2 Corinthians 5:14 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/2co/5/14/s_1083014

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

Philippians 2:12 - https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/phl/2/12/s_1105012

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
