|
|
<li>The Nature of Justification
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Definition: "An act of God's free grace wherein He pardons all our sins, and declares us righteous through the righteousness of Christ given to us, and received by faith alone."</li>
|
|
<li>Justification is an act of God
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An act of pure grace</li>
|
|
<li>An act of giving — imputation</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Justification means that God declares — pronounces — regards us as righteous</li>
|
|
<li>Justice and grace contrasted
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Justice demands God's best</li>
|
|
<li>Grace provides God's best</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Justice condemns the best
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Grace justifies the worst</li>
|
|
<li>Justification is an absolute righteousness
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It is the righteousness of God — <a id="si_3" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,21);">Rom 3:21</a></li>
|
|
<li>The justified sinner is declared to be as righteous as God — <a id="si_4" onclick="return mV('2Cr',5,21);">2Co 5:21</a></li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>It is more than forgiveness</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Justification is an imputed righteousness — <a id="si_5" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,21);">Rom 3:21</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It is apart from the law</li>
|
|
<li>It is the gift of God received by faith
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Faith — knowledge of the truth</li>
|
|
<li>Faith — agreement with the truth</li>
|
|
<li>Faith — commitment and trust in the truth</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Justification is a manifested righteousness — <a id="si_6" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,21);">Rom 3:21</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In the person of Christ</li>
|
|
<li>In the work of Christ</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Justice is an exclusive righteousness possessed only by believers — <a id="si_7" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,22);">Rom 3:22</a></li>
|
|
<li>Justice is an inclusive righteousness available to all — <a id="si_8" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,22,23);">Rom 3:22-23</a></li>
|
|
<li>Justice is a gratuitous righteousness — <a id="si_9" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,24);">Rom 3:24</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Given freely by His grace</li>
|
|
<li>Nothing in us to deserve it</li>
|
|
<li>Nothing to do with our behavior</li>
|
|
<li>It is entirely free — a free gift to those who deserve exactly the opposite</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The Ground of Justification — <a id="si_10" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,24,25);">Rom 3:24-25</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The ground of free grace — the union of justice and love
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Destroys guilt freely</li>
|
|
<li>Destroys guilt on condition of justice</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The ground of Christ's redemptive work
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Man was in debt</li>
|
|
<li>Christ paid our ransom in full</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The ground of Christ's propitiatory work — <a id="si_11" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,25);">Rom 3:25</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Definition of propitiation — to render favorable
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To conciliate</li>
|
|
<li>To render acceptable</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The atonement
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Covers sin</li>
|
|
<li>Bears away sin</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Result
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>God is satisfied</li>
|
|
<li>God's justice is satisfied</li>
|

</ul></li>
