Faith = Justification + Works

Summary

R.C. Sproul explores the theological concept of justification by faith, contrasting different perspectives on the relationship between faith and works. He critiques both the Roman Catholic view of faith plus works and the antinomian view of faith without works, ultimately presenting Martin Luther's perspective that true faith always produces good works, though these works do not contribute to salvation. The key takeaway is that genuine saving faith is transformative, necessarily resulting in obedience and works, but these works do not earn justification, which comes through faith alone.
