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 10
The Bible teaches that every sin you have ever committed carries with it enough guilt to deserve God's eternal wrath and judgment. This is true for every single person that has ever lived, with Jesus Christ Himself being the only exception. But why is that? Well according to the Scripture, Christ lived a perfect life without sin.
Part 11
How do you know if you have truly been saved—truly been justified before God? While some traditions teach that man can never know for sure, the apostle Paul in Philippians 3 instructs us that a mark of a born-again Christian is one whose life is characterized by a love for and a willingness to obey Jesus Christ.
Part 12
The biblical doctrine of justification, that man is declared righteous before God by faith alone in Christ alone, is a foundational doctrine of the Christian faith. As we’ve learned so far in the series, this great doctrine is always accompanied by a dramatic life change in the one who believes in Jesus.
