THOSE whom God effectually calleth he also freely justifieth;1 not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous: not for anything wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ’s sake alone: not by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or any other evangelical obedience, to them as their righteousness; but by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them,2 they receiving and resting on him and his righteousness by faith: which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.3 1. Rom. 8:30; Rom. 3:24. 2. Rom. 4:5-8; II Cor. 5:19,21; Rom. 3:22,24-25,27-28; Tit. 3:5,7; Eph. 1:7; Jer. 23:6; I Cor. 1:30-31; Rom. 5:17-19. 3. Acts 10:44; Gal. 2:16; Phil. 3:9; Acts 13:38-39; Eph. 2:7-8. 2. Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification;4 yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.5 4. John 1:12; Rom. 3:28; Rom. 5:1. 5. James 2:17,22,26; Gal. 5:6. 3. Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to his Father’s justice in their behalf.6 Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the Father for them,7 and his obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead,8 and both freely, not for anything in them, their justification is only of free grace;9 that both the exact justice and rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners.10 6. Rom. 5:8-10,19; I Tim. 2:5-6; Heb. 10:10,14; Dan. 9:24,26; Isa. 53:4-6,10-12. 7. Rom. 8:32. 8. II Cor. 5:21; Matt. 3:17; Eph. 5:2. 9. Rom. 3:24; Eph. 1:7. 10. Rom. 3:26; Eph. 2:7. ==== Westminster Confession of Faith Series Bible Presbyterian Church of WA Friday 15th July 2016 To watch this video on YouTube, use this link: https://youtu.be/GBnNrPLpCAY If you were helped by this recording, please share this with someone who would benefit from this.
