The Power of the Gospel - Gavin Ortlund

About this episode

Gavin Ortlund discusses the transformative power of the gospel and the freedom found in trusting Christ alone.

The gospel is not advice for better living—it is the power of God to save. When we stop trying to earn God's favor and trust in Christ alone, we discover the freedom Luther found: our standing before God rests not on our performance, but on His finished work. Support the show
