Faith Alone

July 21, 2023
Dr. John Neufeld

Faith. What is it? What is your salvation based on? Is it a result of what you have done, accomplished or earned? Because you’re basically a good person or observed a certain ritual or routine? Or, do you understand that there is nothing you can do; it is only by faith that anyone is counted righteous. Dr. John’s biblical definition of faith would be this: “Faith is really all about trusting ourselves fully into the hands of God, on the basis of truth.” Romans 4 makes God’s message clear: the forgiveness of sin, salvation, comes by way of faith and faith alone.

    The Darkness of Sin

    The message of Romans 1 is a message of presenting our need for the Gospel. In this message, Dr. Neufeld presents a verse by verse understanding of this chapter. A chapter that, in many ways, we may find disturbing, but in other ways, must be understood so that we might experience the depth and breadth of the Good News. As Dr. Neufeld suggests, “Until we see the blackness of the world that we are presently living in, who will save us from this present darkness? Until that thought occurs to us, we will never look for a saviour. But once it does, our hearts and our minds become open to the fact that God has brought one.”

    We Need a Saviour

    Romans 2 invites us to take an uncomfortable look at ourselves, a contrast between the external and the internal condition of our lives. We are often quick to look at the sinfulness of others, in fact to pass judgement on others, and yet we are less likely to compare ourselves to the same standard. And yet Paul says that in passing judgement on others we condemn ourselves because we practice the very same things. Dr. Neufeld in this message confronts the heart condition of the Christian, is our heart one that seeks the praise of God, not people? Do we recognize our need for a Saviour?
