Foundations of the Christian FaithSteve Gregg

In this session, Steve Gregg continues discussing the importance of faith in the Christian life, particularly in relation to righteousness and justification. Though faith alone justifies a person, it must also be accompanied by works as evidence of one's relationship with God. Gregg emphasizes the need for trust in God's provision and care, even in difficult circumstances, and points to examples of faith from both biblical and personal accounts. Ultimately, he emphasizes the necessity of believing in and placing trust in God as the foundation of the Christian life.
