Of Saving Faith - 01

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that saving faith is a gift from the Holy Spirit given to the elect, enabling them to believe and trust in Jesus Christ and God's word. Faith is not a human work but is imparted and strengthened through hearing and understanding the word of God, baptism, the Lord's Supper, and prayer. The preacher highlights the importance of growing in faith by regularly engaging with and comprehending Scripture, comparing spiritual growth to an infant's need for milk. Ultimately, saving faith sustains believers through trials and is foundational for spiritual growth and assurance.
