from Weighed in the Balance · host Jonathan Brooks & Co
Send us Fan MailWhat is faith? Protestants confess that we are justified by faith alone—but unless we know what faith actually is, that claim means very little. In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks unpacks Philip Melanchthon’s definition of justifying faith in the Apology to the Augsburg Confession. Is faith just historical knowledge? Or is it the living trust that clings to Christ’s promise of forgiveness? Along the way, Jonathan exposes how the Roman Catholic system either puffs people up with self-righteousness or drives them into despair—and why only the gospel of Christ offers true comfort. If you’ve ever wrestled with the question of faith, works, and justification, this episode cuts through the confusion and gets to the heart of the matter.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
