The Rule of Faith

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that true faith is not self-centered but is a guiding principle that orders the conduct of a justified person according to God's way, as revealed in Scripture. It contrasts the proud, self-exalting soul with the humble, faithful servant who lives by faithfulness rather than subjective feelings. The message critiques both legalism and antinomianism, urging believers to live by the rule of faith, which leads to security, protection, and fullness despite external circumstances. The preacher calls Christians to reject pride and self-focus, embracing faith as obedience to God's moral and ethical teachings.
