Deep Dive into All of Grace: An Earnest Word for Those Who Are, by Grace, Seeking Salvation by Charles Spurgeon - It Is God That Justifieth
from Reformed Thinking · host Edison Wu
Here is a summary of the sources regarding justification by God:To be justified means to be declared just or made righteous, which is necessary because humans are not inherently just and have broken God's laws. Attempting self-justification is futile and mere self-deception, as our own judgment is unreliable. Similarly, the judgment of other people for justification is not worth much, as they lack the authority over sins committed against God.The astonishing fact is that it is God that justifieth. The sources emphasize that only God would ever conceive of justifying the guilty and that only God can do it because sin is committed against Him, and He alone has the authority and power to forgive and blot out sin completely. God justifies the ungodly not based on anything in them, but according to His free grace and infinite compassion and the riches of His mercy, made possible through Christ's precious blood.This divine justification is perfect and beyond question. When God justifies, it is well done, justly done, and everlastingly done. It is received by looking to and believing in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit enables this belief and brings peace through believing. Justification provides a sufficient answer to an awakened conscience, bringing peace over our entire nature, removing fear, providing certainty of forgiveness, and enabling boldness to face death and judgment.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianPatreon: patreon.com/edi_reformed
