Peace With God

Peace With God, by James Hamilton, The Street Preacher

The text for this sermon is Romans 5:1 (Audio):

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

To find out more about the Biblical doctrine of justification by faith, check out Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification, by R. C. Sproul (1939-2017)

Here are some quotes from this great book:


"Does saving faith require a trust in the righteousness of Christ alone as the grounds of our justification? Or may a person have a different view of the gospel and still be a Christian?"

"The Reformation was waged, not over the issue of justification by faith, but over the issue of justification by faith alone. It was the Sola of Sola Fide that was the central point of dispute."

"Agreement between Rome and Evangelicals can be reached in several ways. One is for Evangelicals to abandon their historic position of Sola Fide. A second is for Rome to adopt Sola Fide as its official doctrine. The third is for agreement to be reached that Sola Fide is not essential to the gospel."

Faith Alone is a great book for either personal study, or for a larger Bible study!
