The Necessity of Faith

The Reformation principle of sola fide, or “faith alone,” stresses that faith is the only instrument by which we lay hold of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In this session, Dr. Stephen Nichols considers how faith is a gift from God, how Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us by faith, and how we are called to trust the Lord today.
