About this sermon

There are certainly basic aspects of the gospel that one must know and believe in order to be saved, but faith is the instrument for receiving the salvation that God gives as a free gift, not a work that somehow earns it. We were not saved by our faith. We were saved by Christ. Faith was simply our trusting in the Christ who was given for us and presented to us. What this means is that we are still learning what we have believed. We are growing in our grasp of what God has brought us into the knowledge of. We are growing in our understanding of the one who has made Himself known to us.
