Justification, Part 3

Summary

Michael Goans teaches on the doctrine of justification, emphasizing that justification means to declare righteous, not to make righteous. He explains that redemption is applied at regeneration, not at the moment of believing the gospel, distinguishing justification as a legal declaration and regeneration as a spiritual rebirth. Using biblical examples such as Romans 8:33 and Hebrews 11:4, he clarifies that man is inherently unrighteous and that Christ made his people righteous through His death on the cross. The sermon highlights the relationship between justification and regeneration as distinct but connected aspects of salvation.
