Sermon: The Inheritance Secured by Faith Alone Sermon Text: Romans 4:13-15 Sermon Preached at Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN The sermon expounds on Romans 4, arguing that justification is received solely through faith in God's promise rather than adherence to the law. It highlights Abraham as the prototype of this truth, demonstrating that righteousness was credited to him before circumcision and long before the Mosaic Law existed. The preacher warns against the human tendency to rely on personal works or religious effort, emphasizing that such attempts nullify the need for faith and void God's grace. By contrasting the wrath brought by the law with the hope offered by the promise fulfilled in Christ, the message underscores that salvation is an unmerited gift of pure grace. Ultimately, believers are called to rest entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ as the only basis for their standing before God.
