September 24, 2021

It is not the quality of our faith that saves us but the quality of the Redeemer in whom we have faith. From one of our Ask Ligonier events, Derek Thomas warns Christians not to measure their assurance of God’s grace by the intensity of their faith. Just ask Ligonier to get clear and trustworthy answers to your biblical and theological questions. Visit https://ask.ligonier.org/
