Saving faith in Christ is not merely a general belief that Jesus is the savior; it has three basic elements: knowledge, assent, and trust. This was one of the few cruxes of the Reformation, a sola fide faith alone. But in that the Reformers sought to flesh out and define faith, what is true, saving Christian faith? And they came up with three primary components: faith begins with knowledge.

00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks saving faith in christ is not merely a
00:00:30.980 general belief that jesus is the savior remember brothers and sisters that the scripture tells us
00:00:37.960 even demons believe instead true saving faith it has three basic elements knowledge assent
00:00:50.140 and trust. This was one of the few cruxes of the Reformation, a sola fide, a faith alone.
00:01:05.580 But in that, the Reformers sought to flesh out and define faith. What is faith? True,
00:01:14.940 saving Christian faith. And they came up with three primary components. Again, knowledge,
00:01:22.440 assent, and trust. And this takes us full circle all the way back to the outset of this sermon
00:01:28.980 in the introduction. That the heart cannot love what the mind does not know. That faith, first
00:01:36.980 and foremost, it includes knowledge. You cannot believe in something that you don't know.
00:01:44.940 faith is knowledge is it more yes but it cannot be less faith begins with knowledge knowing god's
00:01:56.020 truth hiding it in your heart knowing the gospel but secondly it is not a mere knowledge but also
00:02:04.960 assent that is agreement and see there are things that we can know that we don't necessarily agree
00:02:14.180 with. I know of many heresies, and I could articulate to you and explain them to you.
00:02:22.620 I can explain to you the prosperity gospel. I can explain to you Arianism, Docetism, 0.93
00:02:31.580 all the isms. Maybe not all. There's a lot. Some of the isms. I can explain them because I know them, 0.61
00:02:40.260 but I don't agree with them. I haven't given them my ascent. So faith, that is Christian faith,
00:02:48.980 the empty hand, everything rests on faith. The empty hand that receives salvation, the grace of 0.99
00:02:55.400 God for sinners, this faith in Christian terms, it's nothing less. It starts with knowledge. You
00:03:01.220 have to know. But secondly, beyond mere knowing, you must agree. I know this about the gospel of
00:03:07.880 Jesus Christ, and I agree with it. But even knowledge plus assent still ultimately equates
00:03:17.060 to what the Bible might call demonic faith, not saving faith. Remember, the demons don't only know
00:03:26.040 the triune God, but they even agree. They do it reluctantly, regrettably, with weeping and gnashing
00:03:35.960 of teeth through bitterness and anger and hatred. But nonetheless, they agree that God exists
00:03:44.340 and that he is Lord. But the last element of true saving faith, knowledge, agreement, that is assent,
00:03:54.180 and then trust. This is what the demons lack. And this is also what the reprobate lacks.
00:04:01.740 this is what the sinner lacks unless he first be born again you must know you must agree 0.98
00:04:10.480 but then lastly comes implicit personal trust another way that we could say trust in this 0.99
00:04:20.960 regard might be rest to say i know this truth of god i've given it my ascent i agree that this
00:04:28.900 particular truth of God is in fact true it's real but lastly I'm going to cast myself upon this
00:04:38.500 truth I'm gonna bet the house on this truth I am counting everything on this truth it's not just
00:04:50.900 something I know or even something that I assent to that I agree is true but it's something that
00:04:57.660 i have bet everything upon i'm actually standing on this truth i'm resting on this truth
00:05:06.540 like a child if they were to stand on the edge of this stage
00:05:11.060 at the risk of using a cheesy analogy or illustration they turn around to do the
00:05:19.220 classic trust fall and we're all standing behind them and we assure them we're right here we even
00:05:24.840 let them peek. You know, they turn around. They know that we're behind them. And they agree
00:05:31.260 that we have committed to catch them. But they have not given implicit trust until they fall
00:05:39.320 backward. Saving faith is all three. I know. I've seen. I've read. I've heard. Ascent. I agree.
00:05:50.040 but trust i rest i'm falling upon the mercy of god and this is my only hope
00:06:20.040 We are.
