Justified by Faith Alone

More Details

The doctrine of justification by faith alone is the center of Reformation theology. It remains crucial for all believers today. This doctrine provides the answer to the question, “What must I do to be saved?” Without it, there is no gospel.

In this course, R.C. Sproul explores this key doctrine from historical, theological, and biblical perspectives. He carefully defines each term in the phrase “justification by faith alone” while pointing to the imputation of a perfect righteousness found only in Jesus Christ.

You will come away from this study with a richer understanding of the doctrine of justification and a greater appreciation for the salvation we have in Christ alone.
