0:00.0 | Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our |
0:04.5 | content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review? |
0:09.7 | This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content |

0:19.6 | Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth |
0:24.5 | of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. When it comes to saving faith, if you want to be |
0:33.9 | saved from your sin, if you want to be declared righteous in the sight of God, |
0:41.1 | receive the forgiveness of sins, you must have saving faith. Saving faith is Christian faith. |
0:49.0 | And Christian faith has the Christian object, who is no one less than Christ himself. And so the faith that saves |

1:57.3 | of Abraham's faith. The language is that he did not waver, that no unbelief was able to |
2:02.9 | make him waver, or against all hope, Abraham hoped. He had hope in the midst of no hope, |
2:10.4 | or that Abraham was fully convinced. Have you ever had moments in your life where you wish that you |
2:15.8 | were fully convinced? Because in that moment, you're not, right were fully convinced because in that moment you're not |
