Episode 120: Year C – 1st Sunday of Lent

In today’s episode, we explore key apologetics topics from the 1st Sunday of Lent, Year C readings. We focus on two critical theological discussions that often arise in Christian apologetics.

The first topic comes from the second reading—Romans 10:8-13—which raises the question: Does faith in Christ alone grant salvation, or is baptism necessary for salvation? This passage is central to debates on sola fide (faith alone) and the role of sacraments in salvation.

The second topic is drawn from the Gospel reading, Luke 4:1-13, which recounts Jesus’ temptation in the desert. A key apologetical question emerges: Does Jesus’ use of Scripture against the devil validate the Protestant doctrine of sola scriptura—that Scripture alone is the sole rule of faith?

Join us as we delve into these powerful Lenten readings, unpack their theological significance, and examine their implications for apologetics.
