What do we stand on? Faith Alone.
Often it is very easy for us to add stuff to this. Faith in ourselves. Faith in our works. Faith in Jesus plus church attendance. Faith in God and doing good things. But when it comes down to it, when we say "Faith Alone" what we mean is faith in Jesus Christ alone.
Pastor Joel Pukallus addressed us tonight with a message that we may have heard before, but is far from old, dusty or boring. Faith in Jesus is what saves us, and that faith is a gift from God. Joel took the time to remind us all that God always comes down. If any of our salvation were up to us, we would either be proud or disparing. Thankfully, we can be neither, because it's not up to us. God always comes down to save us.
Faith in him alone, is what we can stand on.
