JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH IN CHRIST

Justification by Faith in Christ: Galatians 2:15-16 Preached by: Ptr. Enteng Ramoneda Living in a country where the majority believes that justification is by faith in Christ plus good works, faith and works are easily mixed up even by true believers. With this, how did Paul address the issue of inclusion of the works of the law in justification? Paul argued that justification is by faith in Christ and excludes the works of the law because its work is to lead one to Christ. While Paul acknowledged that ethical righteousness is important for one’s acquittal in the judgement day, and it is the works of the Spirit, he clearly made the distinction of faith as the sole basis of justification.
