What does it mean to be justified before a holy God? In this episode, we explore the heart of the gospel: justification by faith alone. Drawing from the early Cumberland Presbyterian teachings and historic catechisms, Pastor Luke unpacks why justification is not based on our works, efforts, or sincerity—but solely on the righteousness of Christ imputed to us and received by faith.

We’ll examine why our prayers, repentance, and obedience—though important—can never cancel out the debt of sin, and why only the perfect life and atoning death of Jesus meets the demands of God’s unchanging law. From Scripture to theology to practical assurance, this episode is a deep dive into the doctrine that Martin Luther said the church stands or falls on.

Whether you’re wrestling with guilt, unsure about your standing with God, or simply wanting to marvel at the beauty of the gospel again—this one’s for you.
