Saints Peter And Paul Sermons

Martin Luther cried out, "Sola Fide" - that is we are saved THROUGH faith alone. Luther's understanding of the Gospel as a gift of God on account of Christ, influenced the role of faith in the life of the Christian. In some ways, faith is a passive gift of God that is received and allows us to believe that Jesus is who he says He is. And, in another sense, faith is also a lively and active thing which causes us to respond in thanksgiving and obedience. In this sermon, these various dynamics of faith are explored.
