Justification, Part 4

Summary

Michael Goons explains the doctrine of justification, emphasizing that justification means being declared righteous by God through the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, not becoming righteous by our own works. He highlights that Christ's obedience and sacrifice legally made believers righteous, and the Gospel publicly declares this verdict, which believers receive by faith. The sermon also stresses the importance of reckoning oneself as righteous in Christ and living consistently with that legal standing before God.
