2018 Shepherds' Conference: The Importance of Doctrinal Courage | John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon addresses a widespread confusion among Protestants about salvation, specifically the belief that it requires faith plus works, contradicting the Reformation's core message. Referencing scripture like Acts 20, Galatians, Romans 3, and Ephesians 2, it emphasizes that salvation is by grace through faith alone, not by human works. The practical takeaway is a call to courageously defend the true gospel and guard it against teachings that add works to salvation.
