Do I have enough faith? Jon Moffitt addresses a common confusion: placing faith in faith itself—or in personal faithfulness—instead of in Christ. Using a powerful D. A. Carson illustration (Passover blood on the door), he shows that deliverance rests on the object of faith, not the intensity of our believing. The aim is gospel clarity and assurance grounded in the sufficiency of Christ.
In this episode you'll hear:
- Why "faith in faith" and "faith in faithfulness" undermine assurance
- Carson on Passover: death passes over because of the blood, not strong faith
- How pietism and lordship-style emphases recenter our performance
- Weak believers, strong Savior: grace, not grit, as the ground of hope
- Law-gospel reading so you stop measuring salvation by yesterday's obedience
- Christ as the object of saving faith from first to last
Who it's for: Christians asking if their faith is "enough," listeners wrestling with assurance under performance religion, and anyone helped by Carson-style gospel clarity.
