![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On September 25, 2017, Piper published “Does God Really Save Us by Faith Alone?” In the article, he maintains that initial justification is by faith alone, but introduces a concept that is completely foreign to the Bible: the concept of “ final salvation” on the basis of our works and obedience. Remarkably, on the eve of the 500 th anniversary of the Reformation, Piper attempts to show that neither the Scriptures nor the Reformers held to final justification by faith alone apart from works. John Piper is just the latest in a long line of such men, and he will not be the last. In every generation there arise men from within the church who stumble into the Roman Catholic view of justification, and having stumbled, then attempt to import that Roman Catholic error into the Church of God so that the children of God might stumble with them. Others have also written critically of Piper’s teaching of final justification by works, and supporters of Piper’s (and Gaffin, Shepherd, Kinnaird, Wilson, and Wright) teaching have criticized the critics. This article is a combination and revision of those posts.
