In this episode of The Pilgrim’s Library, we continue Charles Spurgeon’s All of Grace with Chapter 10: Why Are We Saved by Faith?

Spurgeon explains why God has appointed faith as the way of salvation. Romans 3 and 4 show that faith excludes boasting and magnifies grace. Mark 16:16 highlights faith as the dividing line—belief brings salvation, unbelief brings condemnation. Faith saves not because of its strength, but because of Christ, the One it clings to.

This is a fresh recording of the first episode, presented true to the original text of Charles Spurgeon’s All of Grace. In Chapter 1 (To You), Spurgeon makes the gospel personal, reminding us that God’s grace is offered directly to the sinner who hears. In Chapter 2 (What Are We At?), he explains the aim of the whole book: to show that salvation is entirely of grace through Christ alone, and never by our works. These opening words lay the foundation for everything that follows.

In this chapter, Spurgeon shows how faith can be understood through simple, everyday pictures. By setting out clear illustrations, he helps us see that faith is not complicated or hidden from us, but a plain trust in Christ’s power to save. These examples bring the truth close to heart and remind us that faith rests not in ourselves but in the One who is faithful.
