Send us a textAt the heart of the Reformation was a simple but world-shaking question: is salvation something we earn by doing more, or something Christ has already finished on our behalf? In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks takes us back to Augsburg and Philip Melanchthon’s defense of the gospel against Rome’s teaching of works plus grace. We’ll see how the Reformers drew a sharp line between law and promise, why Rome’s “do more” gospel could never bring assurance, and how the good news of justification by faith alone set consciences free. This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a reminder that our hope rests not in what we do, but in what Christ has already done.Support the showDo you think this claim is found wanting?
