The Most Offensive Truth in Christianity: You Contribute Nothing | Weighed in the Balance Ep. 34
from Weighed in the Balance · host Jonathan Brooks & Co
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks digs deep into one of the most explosive truths of the Christian faith—justification by faith apart from works. While Rome insists grace must be earned through cooperation and merit, Scripture declares the opposite: that the sinner contributes nothing to salvation except the sin that made it necessary. Drawing from Paul’s letters, the Reformers, and the ongoing debates about faith and works, Jonathan explains why this “offensive” gospel is actually the best news imaginable. If you’ve ever wondered why sola fide was worth dying for—or why it still divides the church today—this episode is for you.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
