The Just Shall Live by Faith: Trust God, Not Your Works

Jeremiah Johnson explains why the Bible calls believers to live by faith, not by earning God’s favor. Using stories from Abraham, the Israelites at Mount Sinai, and the parable of the workers, he contrasts trusting God’s goodness with a works-based, transactional mindset. He urges listeners to receive God’s gifts with gratitude and walk in trust, emphasizing that faith — not self-righteous effort — pleases God and opens the way to life and joy.
