In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus takes us into the heart of Christian doctrine: justification.

Why is justification called the central article of the faith? How does it shape the way we read Scripture, preach, teach, and live as Christians? And what happens when other doctrines or church practices try to take its place?

Pastor Preus walks through Scripture—from Genesis to the Gospels to Paul's letters—to show how every teaching of the Bible ultimately centers on Christ's saving work and the righteousness we receive through faith in Him. He also explores how understanding justification helps keep mission, ministry, and daily Christian life grounded in the Gospel rather than in human effort.

If you want a deeper, clearer grasp of the doctrine that holds all others together, this episode will encourage and anchor you in the promise of Christ.
