Do John Piper and Doug Wilson Obscure Faith Alone?

Hi, this is Justin.

Every generation has to come to grips with the gospel.

The good news tells us that the righteousness of Jesus Christ, his perfect fulfillment of the law, is counted to sinners and it is given to us by faith alone.

And that tends to not only terrify people, it's something that comes under assault throughout the history of the church.

That's clear to see.

In our day, there's a couple of ways, even amongst the Reformed crowd, where this is a thing.

One of those movements is federal vision doctrine, another is the doctrine of final justification.

So, John and I are going to engage with both of those today on the show.

We're going to talk about federal vision, we're going to talk about doug wilson we're going to talk about final justification and john piper and some who advocate that understanding we're going to point out some concerns we have with

it and we're going to aim to defend sola fida the fact that we are righteous on account of christ alone, and we receive it by faith alone.

We have peace with God now and forever.

Then in SR, we're going to go all in on this.

We're going to talk in more depth about federal vision theology and the need for creeds and confessions.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Stay tuned.
