Justified by Faith (Part 1)

In this episode of Fingerprint 2 Marriage Ministry Podcast, John takes us into the backyard for a personal and powerful Bible study drawn from his book Faith That Grows Strong: Belief, Trust, Commitment. Surrounded by the peace of nature, John opens with heartfelt prayer and then unpacks the life-changing truth found in Romans 3:28—that we are justified by faith, not by works of the law.

With transparency about his own past struggles and testimony, John explores the difference between believing in God and believing God, showing how true faith leads us beyond acknowledgment into trust and commitment. Through scripture such as Romans 8:31–34, he paints a vivid picture of God’s courtroom grace—where Christ intercedes for us and declares us “not guilty.”

This message is not just theological—it’s deeply practical. John challenges listeners to take these Kingdom principles into every part of life: mindset, marriage, parenting, finances, and ministry. You’ll discover that faith is not about perfection but about transformation, moving from belief to trust to action.
