Justification - Elder Josh Coker

Summary

Elder Josh Coker emphasizes the importance of studying the Word of God diligently to be an approved minister and believer. He explains the biblical doctrine of justification, highlighting its legal nature and the need to rightly divide its aspects: justification by grace and blood, by faith, and by works. Justification by grace and blood is a heavenly courtroom declaration, justification by faith is the believer's access to grace, and justification by works is the evidence of faith before others. He encourages believers to live out their faith actively and be prepared to give a reason for their hope.
