(This post is not in any way to be construed to be
a proper treatment of this deep and most holy princi-
ple (doctrine) of Holy Scripture. The author is inca-
pable of that kind of exegesis.) Look it up; Websters.
I had to look it up for the correct spelling.(Exegesis)
In Romans 5: 6-8;
"For when we were still without strength, in due
time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a
righteous man will one die; yet, perhaps for a good
man someone would even dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in that
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the
ungodly.
Jesus Christ said, "Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the Prophets; I am not
come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you; Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled."
Justification: a forensic term, opposed to condem-
nation. As regards it's nature, it is the judicial act
of God, by which He pardons all the sins of
those who believe in Christ, and accounts, (treats)
them as righteous in the eyes of the Law,i.e., as
conformed to all it's demands. In addition to the
pardon (q.v.) of sin, justification declares all the
claims of the law satisfied in respect of the justified.
It is the act of a judge; not a sovereign. The Law is
not relaxed or set aside, but is declared to be ful-
filled in the strictest sense; and the person justified
is declared to be entitled to all advantages and the
rewards arising from perfect obedience to the law."
(See Romans 5: 1-10)
It proceeds on the imputing or crediting to the
believer, by God himself, the perfect righteous-
ness, active and passive, of his Representative
and surety, Jesus Christ. Rom. 10: 3-9 Justifi-
cation is not the forgivenes of a man without
righteousness, but a declaration that he pos-
sses a righteousness, which perfectly and for-
ever satisfies the law, namely, the righteous-
ness of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:21; and Rom. 4: 6-8.
The sole condition on which this righteous-
ness is imputed or credited to the believer is
faith in or on the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is
called a "condition,' not because it possesses
any merit, but because it is the only instru-
ment by which the soul appropriates or appre-
hends Christ and his righteousness."
(Rom. 1:17; 3:25, 26; 4:20, 22;Phil. 3:8-11;
Gal. 2: 16...)
The act of faith which thus secures our justi-
fication, secures, at the same time our sancti-
fication(q.v.); thus the doctrine of justification
by faith does not lead to licentiousness.
(Rom. 6:2-7).
Good works,while not the grounds, are the cer-
tain consequence of justification (6:14. 7:6.)
Sanctification is a process, awarded, without
merit, to believers.
(This definition of Justification was taken
from Easton's Bible Dictionary which is
on the Bible Gateway website.)
Romans 5: 18, (Referring to Adam,
then to Jesus Christ it says...)
"Therefore, as through one man's offense,
judgment came to all men, resulting in
condemnation, even so through one man's
righteous act the free gift came to all men."
In order to apply this principle/doctrine to one's
life, an understanding of the term may be required
by a thorough study of Romans chapter 5, as well
the whole of Paul's letter's to the Church at Rome
and Galatia."
In the process of re-reading this post, I must
point out there has been help from scholars.
The post has very little in it from this blogger.
The Word of God has been my major source.
