Of Justification - 03

Summary

The sermon explores the doctrine of justification, emphasizing that God declares sinners righteous based solely on Christ's imputed righteousness, not on any works or faith as a human act. It discusses various views on the timing of justification, including eternal justification, justification at the cross, and justification by works, ultimately affirming justification by faith as a gift from God that unites believers to Christ. The preacher stresses that faith is not a condition to earn justification but the means by which believers apprehend Christ's righteousness, and that justification is found only in faith in Jesus Christ.
