9780243087914: A Treatise on the Scriptural Doctrine of Justification

Synopsis

This book comprehensively explores the doctrine of justification, a key concept in Christian theology. The author argues that justification is the forgiveness of sins by the righteous sentence of a just Judge, and thus synonymous with the imputation of righteousness. Examining various scriptural passages, the author demonstrates that justification is a gracious act of mercy, in connection with justice and under its control, an act of God by which sinners are acquitted and pardoned. Distinguishing between justification and sanctification, the author underscores that the former is a declaration of relative righteousness, not the infusion of inherent righteousness. The book also explores the relationship between justification and the witness and fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing that justification leads to peace and joy, as well as a life of obedience and holiness. The author concludes that justification is essential for understanding the nature of salvation and the relationship between God and humanity.
