The thrust of Charles Finney's revival ministry was its foundational message that "the just shall live by faith." His clear, biblical exposition of saving faith revolutionized whole churches and launched them on a life of faith.

PRINCIPLES OF FAITH contains twenty-one of

Finney's sermons on faith and salvation. Compiled and edited by L.G. Parkhurst, these messages explain why a person should be a Christian and how to become a Christian, clearly presenting the necessity of Christ's atoning work in order for God to extend pardon to repentant sinners. With his intriguing perspective as a lawyer, the messages include Finney's view of what people must do and what God must do in salvation.
