New Obedience - Article VI of the Augsburg Confession

The Manna Podcast

As Christians, we can sometimes get this attitude that the fruits of our faith must manifest themselves in a certain way - where they need to be these above-and-beyond, grandiose acts - otherwise they aren't considered 'fruit'. As a result, our eyes are often looking for these massive fruits of faith - like an apple on an apple tree that is so massive it's bowing the branch down - and as a result we don't see the fruit that is on the branch because we've insisted that fruits of faith must be visible (so to speak) from a mile away.

But is that how God speaks of the 'fruits' of the Christian's faith?

In this episode of The Manna Podcast, Jacob Lewis and Sam Jeske dive into Article VI of the Augsburg Confession, pertaining to the new obedience of the Christian, what fruits of faith are, and why the Christian produces them.
