Episode notes
Faith Is Formed By Word And Sacrament
- Faith comes through the preached Word and sacraments as instruments that produce trust in the heart.
- Wisløff highlights 'Fidem ex verbo concipi' and that faith is worked by God's Word and Spirit, not a mere human decision.
Receive Faith As Heart Trust
- Trust the promises offered in Word and sacrament rather than treating faith as a mere intellectual assent.
- Receive faith as 'fiducia'—a heart trust worked by God's promise, not a volitional achievement.
Justification Is For Christ's Sake
- Justification is 'for Christ's sake' (propter Christum), emphasizing objective forgiveness grounded in Christ.
- Wisløff contrasts objective atonement with subjective notions that make forgiveness depend on human change.
