2 Sides of the Same Coin, Episode 5: Faith without Deeds, Part 3
Overview
The doctrine of salvation by grace alone is possibly the most necessary of concepts for Christians—and all the world—to understand. Yet few can say they really comprehend its significance. Fewer still realize how this doctrine functions next to the admonition that faith without works is dead. How are we to understand the relationship? In 2 Sides of the Same Coin, Mark Kielar explains both individual concepts—and how they fit together as two sides of the same coin. The Faith Without Deeds section tackles the flip side of doctrine. The story of Noah’s ark provides the perfect parallel and visual backdrop for a teaching based on a sermon from the great 18th century Puritan scholar: Jonathan Edwards. It’s on one of Scripture’s great paradoxes: how we cannot be saved by works, yet without works, we cannot truly be saved. It is a paradox, but not a contradiction; though skeptical people will swear that there are contradictions in the Bible, there are none—but there are some paradoxes. Faith Without Deeds explores this and other important aspect of this imperative doctrine.
