What Everyone Gets Wrong About Sola Fide (Except Confessional Lutherans)

Faith alone. Few doctrines are more central to Christianity—and few are more misunderstood. In this episode of What Everyone Gets Wrong About... (Except Confessional Lutherans), we examine the doctrine of Sola Fide (Faith Alone) through the lens of Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. What is justification? What role does faith actually play? If Christ has already accomplished salvation, why is faith necessary? And how do both Roman Catholic and modern Protestant understandings sometimes miss the point in different ways? We'll explore the biblical distinction between justification and sanctification, why faith is not a work, and why the Reformers insisted that sinners are justified by faith alone for the sake of Christ alone. Because when justification becomes dependent on either our spiritual progress or the strength of our decision, assurance is no longer grounded in Christ.
