Bunyan's Pilgrim Progress: The Persevering Struggle of Little-faith


Listen Later

In this episode, we journey with Little-faith from John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress—an unforgettable allegory that reveals the difference between weak but real faith and no faith at all. Bunyan uses this character’s struggles to teach rich theological truths about justification, assurance, and the perseverance of the saints.

We’ll explore why saving faith, no matter how small, secures the believer’s salvation; how assurance differs from justification; and what disciplines help pilgrims endure—vigilance, fellowship, godly responses to failure, and remembering God’s promises. This is both a pastoral encouragement for doubting believers and a practical guide for navigating spiritual struggles.
