Just By Faith Alone
Justification in biblical terms is the legal declaration in the courtroom of God by which He credits the believer’s sin to Christ and credits Christ’s perfect righteousness to the believer. The wondrous outcome of this divine transaction is that God forgives the sinner because their debt has been paid for by the life and death of Christ and declares them forever righteous before Him as Judge. Join Tom Pennington as he unpacks the doctrine of justification from Philippians 3—demonstrating that Christians are Just By Faith Alone.
Part 7
God’s Word teaches that Justification is always accompanied by dramatic change. But what kind of change? In Acts 9, the apostle Paul experienced a divine encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. This left Paul with a radical change in his thinking—specifically, that all his works and merits would never grant him salvation before a holy God.
Part 9
The Bible teaches that God is Holy, and His law is absolute perfection. While the kind and degree of everyone’s sin may be different, our standing and status before God is exactly the same—we are dead in our trespasses and sins and are guilty before Him, deserving only His wrath and condemnation.
