| | Justification (theology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Protestants believe that justification by faith alone is the chief goal of Scripture, and that any and every other view of justification serves only to condemn the believer. | | | As the state of spiritual death was called "in Adam," the state of the regenerate children of God is called "in Christ." In Christ, as members of his Body, Christians participate in his death and resurrection. | | | It is often referred to as the articulus stantis vel cadentis ecclesiae, or, "the article [of faith] by which the church stands or falls." It is thus not one of many teachings of the Church which work together, but rather the lynchpin which holds the entire body of doctrine together. |

| | Aspects of the Doctrine of Justification According to Reformed Theology |
| | Justification by faith is the jubilee trumpet of the gospel because it proclaims the gospel to the poor and destitute whose only door of hope is to roll themselves in total helplessness upon the grace and power and righteousness of the Redeemer of the lost. | | | Reformed theology teaches that there are only two possible methods of justification and hence of obtaining the right and title to eternal life: (1) by perfectly obeying the law ourselves, or (2) by Christ's perfect fulfillment of the precepts and penalty of the law in our place. | | | Murray: "While it makes void the gospel to introduce works in connection with justification, nevertheless works done in faith, from the motive of love to God, in obedience to the revealed will of God and to the end of his glory are intrinsically good and acceptable to God. |

| | Justification is grounded not in what the Spirit does as He brings a person to faith, but in the redemption and righteousness of Christ, for almost as often as Luther says that the sinner's justification is through faith in Christ he says simply that it takes place by grace through Christ. | | | The theology of the cross is primarily a theology of justification and offers a sharp contrast to the theology of glory. | | | The Significance of the Doctrine of Justification by Faith to Sixteenth Century Urban Communities. |

| | Justification, by N.T. Wright, from the New Dictionary of Christian Theology |
| | Since this lawcourt imagery is used in Scripture to elucidate God’s dealings with Israel, his covenant people, ‘justification’ comes to denote God’s action in restoring the fortunes of Israel after she has been oppressed: it is as though Israel, or a faithful individual within Israel, is the innocent defendant in a trial (see Pss. | | | The teaching of present justification is thus a central means whereby the fruits of the Spirit — love, joy, peace and the rest — may be produced. | | | ‘Justification by faith’ is thus a shorthand for ‘justification by grace through faith’, and in Paul’s thought at least has nothing to do with a suspicious attitude towards good behaviour. |

| | Long Before Luther: Jesus and the Doctrine of Justification |
| | So when the Reformers' preaching about justification by faith began to awaken the masses to the truth of Scripture, it was inevitable that the Roman Catholic Church would respond. | | | A right understanding of justification by faith is the very foundation of the gospel. | | | Although Christ made no formal explication of the doctrine of justification (such as Paul did in his epistle to the Romans), justification by faith underlay and permeated all His gospel preaching. |

| | Forensic Justification - Turretin |
| | Although the word Justification in certain passages of scripture should recede from its proper signification, and be taken in another than a forensic sense, it would not follow that it is taken judicially by us falsely, because the propersense is to be looked to in those passages in which is the seat of this doctrine. | | | It is called by Luther, the article of a standing and falling church; by other Christians it is termed the characteristic and basis of Christianity not without reason, the principle rampart of the Christian religion, and, it being adulterated or subverted, it is impossible to retain purity of doctrine in other places. | | | Because, as we have already said, justification is ascribed to the ministers of the gospel, as elsewhere the salvation of believers, 1 Tim. |

| | The Enduring Relevance of the Doctrine of Justification |
| | The heart of all Christian theology is the very same as the point of contact between God and man. This is what we are saying when we say that justification is the chief topic of Christian doctrine. | | | Thus, their doctrine of justification, which in most aspects of it is quite sound, will necessarily be set aside, off in a corner somewhere where it cannot really flow into the preaching and piety of the church. | | | A discussion of the divine attributes of Christ being communicated to his human nature may appear to be somewhat arcane, but this biblical teaching is vital as a foundation for the proclamation of the gospel and the administration of the sacraments. |

| | Doing biblical theology on the basis of Christian theological traditions with this sort of relative autonomy from the Bible would mean using the Bible to shed new light on them, using the Bible to alter the way in which the distinctive concerns of these theological traditions are addressed. | | | (1) Justification as the Continuation of God's Free Faithfulness to the Covenant. | | | Almost any theology is biblical in the broadest sense in that it is concerned with what the Bible says and makes reference to it whenever possible in support of its own positions. |

| | Classical Covenant Theology: Justification |
| | Faith is not the ground or cause that merits justification, it is the means of appropriating Christ and his righteousness, and on the ground of the righteousness thus appropriated by faith we are justified. | | | Justification is a gift of God's infinite grace, faith is our receiving of the gift. | | | That God should have ordained faith for this particular office of being the instrument of justification is not an arbitrary appointment, but is most wise and necessary. |

| | Justification: from Jonathan Edwards: A Mini-Theology |
| | One may say generally of the history of the doctrine of justification that solafideanism (justification by faith aloneism) was taught implicitly, but not explicitly, from the beginning of the church. | | | This was the prior union with Christ as the psychological basis of justification. | | | That is, it was known in the early church that salvation was by faith alone, but not until the sixteenth century was the church called upon to define that teaching more precisely. |

| | By speaking of <"justification >before men" and <"justification >before God," the argument creates the illusion that the same kind of justification is being spoken of in both cases, simply the audience is different, being men in one case and God in the other. | | | It is important for understanding Scripture's teachings on faith, works, and justification. | | | However, the "justification before God before men" view can be positively ruled out as completely impossible based on ten points in the text. |

| | The Doctrine of Justification and Contemporary "Born Again" Theology - Dr. John Johnson |
| | This historical continuity is not insignificant for understanding the evangelical's claim to belief in justification through faith. | | | These questions are answered truly and clearly in the teaching of justification by grace for Christ's sake through faith. | | | Still others insist you be born again when you believe that the Bible contains inspired and inerrant divine truth; or you are born again when you become a member of a moral majority defending the free enterprise system and prayer in the schools. |

| | We remark as before, that it is a question of works anterior to justification, and that the absolute necessity of faith does not exclude the other dispositions required. | | | He took what they knew and proceeded to build upon the truth that was in them, up to Christian theology and the gospel. | | | But note well that St. Paul does not say that faith is the only disposition required, and we know by other passages that it must be accompanied by two complementary sentiments: repentance for the past and acceptance of the divine will for the future. |

| | GPTS - Resources: katekomen Vol. 14, No. 1 |
| | Although Shepherd makes use of much orthodox terminology, I argue that he has articulated a doctrine of justification that is persistently ambiguous and that redefines the relationship of faith and works in a way at odds with the traditional, biblical doctrine. | | | Whatever the importance of the variety of matters hotly debated among Reformed Christians, the present issue is undoubtedly of the highest urgency, for the nature of the Gospel is directly at stake. | | | In contrast to the clear precision of traditional Reformed theology in distinguishing the roles of faith and obedience, Shepherd never carefully defines what his terminology means. |

| | The term can be used to refer to objects which are set apart for special purposes, but the most common use within Christian theology is in reference to the change brought about by God in a believer, begun at the point of salvation or justification and continuing throughout the life of the believer. | | | Many forms of Christianity believe that this process will only be completed in Heaven, but some believe that complete holiness is possible in this life. | | | In the Roman Catholic branch of Christianity, one who is sanctified is believed to be free from sin. |
