This episode of Faith Comes By Hearing returns to the biblical fundamentals: the vital distinction between God’s Law (which shows our sin) and God’s Gospel (which reveals our Savior). No one is saved by following the Law! We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone, and nothing can separate us from His love.

This episode explores the most vital question of all: Who is God?
