The Faith that Saves, John 1:6-13
The Faith that Saves (John 1:6-13)
In this exposition of John 1:6-13, Pastor Ben Smith explores how God has graciously provided everything necessary for salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ. The message examines three essential elements of God's provision: the preceding witness of John the Baptist and the Old Testament prophets who prepared the way, the revelation of truth in Jesus as the true light who fully reveals God, and the sovereign work of salvation accomplished by God's authority and power alone. With clarity and pastoral warmth, Pastor Ben demonstrates that saving faith is not achieved through human effort, religious heritage, or personal determination, but is entirely a gift of God's grace. This sermon powerfully reminds believers that from beginning to end, salvation is the work of God—a truth that brings both humility and unshakable hope to all who trust in Christ.
