SOTERIOLOGY
Module 12
A. Introduction:

How can a man be in the right before God ?

How can a sinner be made right in front of a Holy God?
Justification answers this question posed by Job. Doctrinally, justification is the judicial
act of God, based on the work of Jesus Christ, which justly declares and treats as
righteous the one who believes in Jesus Christ and who stands by imputation in the
righteousness of Christ. In this module, we will thoroughly discuss the doctrine of
justification.

B. Topic – The DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION

Objectives:
At the end of the module, the students are expected to:
 Define justification
 Enumerate the blessings brought by justification
 Identify the methods of justification

Definition of terms:

 remission – the cancellation of a debt, charge or penalty

 pardon – the action of forgiving or being forgiven for an error
or offense
 condemnation – the action of a very strong disapproval
 imputation – a charge or claim that someone has done
something undesirable

1. DEFINITION.
Justification by faith is the foundation truth of God's provision of salvation for
guilty and lost sinners. It was the great truth which the Protestant Reformation
restored to the Christian Church. It is frequently referred to in the Scriptures, yet it
is one of the most neglected and misunderstood doctrines in all evangelical
theology. It is of such a far-reaching and startling nature that many seem afraid to
teach and believe the scriptural declarations concerning it. Yet it must be
understood if we are to grasp, and fully understand, the "so great salvation" (Heb.
2:3) God has graciously and freely provided. Regeneration and Justification are
closely related doctrines. Regeneration has to do with that which takes place in the
believer's heart; Justification concerns his standing before God. Regeneration
refers to the impartation of life; Justification to his being declared righteous in the
eyes of God. Regeneration is the Divine answer to the problem of spiritual death;
Justification is the Divine answer to the problem of guilt. Justification is a legal term
which pictures the sinner before the bar of God to receive condemnation for the
sins he has committed. But instead of being condemned he is judicially
pronounced as not guilty, being declared by God to be righteous. Justification has
been defined as "that act of God whereby He declares righteous him who believes
on Christ." Observe it is not that the sinner is righteous, but that he is declared
righteous on the basis of his faith in the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness" (Rom.
4:3). Justification is more than forgiveness, or pardon of sins, and the removal of
guilt and condemnation. Such is negative - the putting away of sin. Justification is
also positive - the reckoning of, or putting to one's account, the perfect
Righteousness of Christ. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made
unto us wisdom, and righteousness . . ." (1 Cor. 1:30). "For he hath made him to
be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in
him" (2 Cor. 5:21). Justification includes the sinner's deliverance from wrath, and
 also his acceptance as righteous in the sight of God. In justifying the sinner, God
places him in the position of a righteous man. It is as though he had never sinned.

SAQ #1. In your own words, what is the difference between regeneration and
justification? ( 10 points )

2. WHAT ARE THE BLESSINGS OF JUSTIFICATION ?

Outside the city of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, some years ago, a man entered
the kitchen door and began to accost the wife of the household just as she was
preparing the evening meal. She cried out to her husband, who was in another room of
the house, and he immediately came rushing to her assistance, grabbing the man by
the collar and thrusting him out the back door. In the morning, as he was going out the
door, the husband found, to his utter surprise, the intruder lying at the bottom of the
steps dead. It was never determined whether the man was killed by the force of his fall,
or whether he was merely stunned and then froze to death in the cold of the winter
night. The farmer, being an honest man, immediately went into town and gave himself
up to the authorities. Several days later a hearing was held. Every bit of evidence that
could be accumulated was brought in and duly recorded by the appointed clerk of the
court. After every possible witness had been heard from, and all records fully
transcribed and considered, the judge turned to the farmer and said, "In the eyes of this
court, you are justified." That meant that every shred of evidence that had been taken
down during that hearing had to be destroyed. If anyone were to go to Kingston today
he could not find one piece of evidence of that case. Every record is gone. When God
justifies the sinner, who trusts in the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ, all evidence of his
sin and guilt is completely wiped out. "In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord,
the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah,
and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve" (Jer. 50:20). This is
a most remarkable declaration, for certainly Israel and Judah had plenty of sins for
which they were guilty. But when God forgives, He forgets. 'This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts,
and in their minds will I write them: And their sins and iniquities will I remember no
more" (Heb. 10:16,17). This, in itself, is amazing, for He is the Omniscient God. He
knows all things. The only thing we are ever told that God forgets is the sins of the one
who trusts in His great Salvation. Thus God does not see believers as forgiven sinners.
He sees them, rather, as those who have never sinned.

a) Pardon or remission of sins. "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren,
that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of
Moses" (Acts 13:38,39). "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" (Eph. 1:7). "And you, being
dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with
him, having forgiven you all trespasses" (Col. 2:13). Because the believer's sins are all
forgiven it follows that the guilt and punishment of those sins is also removed.

b) Restoration to God's favor. The sinner has not merely incurred a penalty but has
also lost God's favor and is thus subject to His wrath. "He that believeth not the Son
shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (Jn. 3:36). "For the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men" (Rom.
1:18). Through Justification all this is changed. "Much more then, being now justified
by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him" (Rom. 5:9).

One of the great problems in society today has to do with the rehabilitation of those who
have served time for a crime committed. Even though he has met his debt to society, it
is difficult for such a person to find his place in the community again. He has the mark
of a criminal against him, and is not easily received by those who knew him before.
This is why a large proportion of those who have been incarcerated drift back into the
company of the criminal element and very often are arrested and sentenced to another
period in prison. Thank God that His Grace is so abundant that we are received into His
favor as though we had never broken His laws. Therefore being justified by faith, we
have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Rom. 5:1,2).
But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by
works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by
the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified by his grace, we should
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Ti. 3:4-7). This restoration to favor is
illustrated for us in the parable of the prodigal son: "But the father said to his servants,
Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his
feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for this my
son was dead and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be
merry" (Lk. 15:22-24). This restoration is confirmed by P. B. Fitzwater: "From these
texts it is seen that justification is much more than remission of sins or acquittal. The
justified man is more than a discharged criminal. He is restored to the position of one
who is righteous. God treats him as though he had never sinned. "

c) Imputation of Christ's Righteousness. Thiessen well says: "The sinner must not
only be pardoned for his past sins, but also supplied with a positive righteousness
before he can have fellowship with God. This need is supplied in the imputation of the
righteousness of Christ to the believer. "Even as David also describeth the blessedness
of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are
they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the -man to
whom the Lord will not impute sin" (Rom. 4:6-8). James Buchanan, D.D., LL.D., Divinity
Professor, New College, Edinburgh, wrote an extensive book on The Doctrine of
Justification which was first published in 1867, in which he says: "Indeed Justification
consists partly in the 'non-imputation' of sin, which did belong personally to the sinner,
and partly in the 'imputation' of righteousness, of which he was utterly destitute before;
and the meaning of the one may be ascertained from the meaning of the other, while
both are necessary to express the full meaning of Justification." All fellowship with a
Holy God must be on the basis of righteousness. In the first two and a half chapters of
the epistle to the Romans Paul deals with every classification of society and shows that
they have no righteousness of their own. He sums up his survey with the words: "Now
we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law:
that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the
law is the knowledge of sin" (Rom. 3:19,20). This is a black, hopeless picture indeed!
But this is not the end of the story. Paul goes on to say: "But now the righteousness of
God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even
the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all of them
that believe" (Rom. 3:21,22). "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Cor. 5:21). This verse
suggests the double imputation that is present in Justification: our sins were imputed to
Christ, Who, Himself, had no sin; Christ's Righteousness is imputed to the believer, who
had none of his own. Righteousness is absolutely necessary for fellowship with God,
but man has no righteousness of his own, so God imputes to the believer the
Righteousness of Jesus Christ. How often we have heard Romans 1:16 quoted in
testimonies: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God
unto salvation to every one that believeth." But the testimony usually stops right there.
Why is the Gospel the power of God unto salvation? Verse seventeen supplies the
answer: "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith." Christ's
Righteousness is provided, through the Gospel, for those who will believe in Him. A
pardoned criminal is never described as a good or righteous man. But when God
justifies a sinner He declares that he is righteous in His sight. 'Who shall lay anything to
the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth" (Rom. 8:33). If God justified only
good people then there would be no gospel for the sinner. But, thank God, He justifies
the ungodly. The righteousness which the sinner receives to his account is nothing less
than the Righteousness of Christ imputed to him. To impute means to put to the
account of. Justification by faith does not impart Christ's Righteousness to the sinner
nor infuse him with it so that it becomes part of his inner nature. That is the result of
Sanctification, which we will consider later. Justification reckons to the sinner the
Righteousness of Christ, so that God sees him through the perfect Righteousness of
His Son. 'This righteousness - being the merit of a work, and not a mere quality of
character - may become ours by being imputed to us, but cannot be communicated by
being infused; and must continue to belong primarily, and in one important respect,
exclusively to Him by Whom alone that work was accomplished ." But how can God do
this? How can a Holy and Righteous God, Who cannot countenance sin, declare
righteous one who is born in sin and thus is guilty both by nature and practice?

[Link] METHOD OF JUSTIFICATION.

It is very important that we understand the method by which God justifies the
sinner. Justification is the very basis of our standing before God. It is not something
that can simply be taken for granted. God cannot merely overlook sin out of the
bigness of His heart. He must preserve His own Holiness and Justice. He must "be
just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" (Rom. 3:26). There is a definite
and Divine way by which sinners can be declared righteous, and apart from this way
such a thing cannot be possible. It is a strange commentary on the sinful heart of
Mankind that, deserving eternal condemnation as he does, and being offered so great
a gift as justification of his life before God, he should complain at the Divine method.
There is only one way - God's way! Let us rejoice in it, being careful to note the details
as given in God's Word.

a) Not by good works. If there is one truth made clear in the New Testament, it is that
no man is justified on the basis of his own righteousness - his own good deeds. For if
Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For
what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for
righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of
debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his
faith is counted for righteousness (Rom. 4:2-5). Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace then it is no more
of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more
grace: otherwise work is no more work (Rom. 11:5,6). b) Not by endeavoring to keep
the Law. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them that are
under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty
before God. Therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin ... for all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God (Rom. 3:19,20,23). Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works
of the law shall no flesh be justified (Gal. 2:16). Paul is telling us that salvation is by
faith alone and not by works; while James is insisting that a faith that is genuine will
result in good works. Ephesians 2:8-10 speaks of both of these aspects: "For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works,
lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Thus the
faith that saves without works will result in good works. Faith cannot be seen. It can
only be judged by what a man does. That is why James says: "Shew me thy faith
without thy works, and I will shew you my faith by my works" (Jas. 2:18). Thus
Abraham's faith, which "was imputed unto him for righteousness" (Jas. 2:23), was
manifested "by faith, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar" (Jas. 2:21). The
outward act clearly demonstrated the inner faith.

b) By the gift of God's Grace. Justification cannot be worked for, nor merited. It is
only received through God's Grace. "Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 3:24). "Being justified by his grace, we might
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life" (Ti. 3:7). What is grace? The word
"grace" (Greek, charis, from which we get our word "charismatic") originally meant
"beauty," or "beautiful conduct." Later it was used to mean any favor granted to another,
especially when the recipient had not merited such a favor. The Bible writers borrowed
this word and, under God's guidance, clothed it with a new significance; so that in the
New Testament it usually meant the forgiveness of sins granted entirely out of the
Goodness of God, completely apart from any merit on the part of the person forgiven.
Grace blesses Man in the face of all non-merit and positive dis-merit. Someone has
said, "To feed a tramp who calls on me is unmerited favor, but scarcely grace. But to
feed a tramp who has robbed me would be grace." Grace is favor shown where there is
positive demerit. Grace is not merely something which God expresses. It is an
expression of what He is. "Grace is the attitude on God's part that proceeds entirely
from within Himself and is conditioned in no way by anything in the objects of His favor."
Dr. Henry C. Mabie is quoted as saying: 'Grace is a boon purchased for us by the court
which found us guilty." Dr. Fitzwater's own definition of Grace is: "As applied to
salvation, grace means that what the holy and righteous God demands of us was
provided by himself... God in his grace is not dealing with innocent creatures, but with
sinners under righteous and just condemnation. In grace what God's righteousness
demands He supplies." A. W. Pink has written: "Grace is a provision for men who are
so fallen that they cannot help themselves, so corrupt that they cannot change their
natures, so averse to God that they cannot turn to Him, so blind they cannot see Him,
so deaf they cannot hear Him, so dead that He Himself must open their graves and lift
them into resurrection.

c) Through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God cannot forgive our
sins just because He is gracious. As a God of justice he cannot merely overlook our
sin. His pardon is based upon the strict terms of justice. The penalty of our sins has
been paid - paid for by none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. The sins of the believer
are put to the account of Christ. "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness" (1 Pt. 2:24). "For he
hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him" (2 Cor. 5:21). God can forgive sin because the Law has
been kept and the penalty for its breaking has been paid. Not only is the penalty of our
sin paid by Christ, but His perfect obedience to the Law provided a righteousness which
God could put to our account. "For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" (Rom. 5:19). Thus
we have the amazing situation whereby Christ takes our sin upon Himself, while his
Righteousness is bestowed upon us. What an unbelievable exchange! Yet that is
exactly what God offers to those who will believe.

e) Through faith alone. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood
... to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier
of him which believeth in Jesus (Rom. 3:24,26). But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness (Rom.
4:5). Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ (Rom. 5:1). For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness (Rom. 10:10).
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus
Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in
Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified (Gal. 2:16). When we declare that we are justified through faith we must realize
that faith is not something that we meritoriously offer to God for our salvation. It is only
the means through which we receive His gracious provision. We can say of faith, as we
said of repentance, quoting Thiessen: 'We are not saved for our faith, but through our
faith .1139 Two further facts must be born in mind: First, The Resurrection of Christ is
the guarantee of our Justification. "Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification" (Rom. 4:25). The fact that God raised Jesus from the dead is
a testimony that He was satisfied with the sacrifice Jesus had made, and that our sins,
which He took upon Himself, are gone. It is the Father's seal of approval upon Christ's
atoning Death. Second, Justification is complete. There are no degrees in Justification.
The babe in Jesus Christ stands in the same Justification as the believer of fifty years.
There is no such thing as progress in Justification.

SAQ # 4. Discuss how can a believer of Jesus demonstrate his faith? (10 points)

4. THE RESULTS OF JUSTIFICATION

1. Peace. Rom. 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God."

a. Peace of conscience through the mercy of God.

 b. Peace of heart through the love of God

c. Peace of mind through the truth of God

d. Peace of soul through the presence of God.

2. . Access into the presence of God for worship, praise and petition.

Rom. 5 :2, "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace." Access into

favour with God--a new standing through justification.

3. Tribulation. Rev. Samuel Matthew of Madras, India, very carefully pointed out what
he considered the two great results of justification: peace with God and tribulation in this
world, Rom. 5:3. cf. II Tim. 3:12, "Yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution. "

SAQ #5. From the results of justification, which of the three do you like best?
Why?( 10 points )

[Link]:

Justification does not mean “to make righteous.” If it did, the believing sinner
would never again sin because he would have been made constitutionally righteous so
he could not and would not sin. That condition will occur in our ultimate condition of and
views us as perfectly righteous in Christ even though in our experience we will commit
acts of sin or unrighteousness.
We have seen the marvelous provision of God whereby men might be saved. In
His grace and mercy, God has removed those things that separated man from God.
Yet, while God has done this, there still remains another barrier. This is the barrier of
Christ Himself and His work on the cross. For unless one personally trusts in Jesus
Christ and His death on the cross as the sole solution for his sin, he remains cut off and
separated from God.
Challenge:

If you have never put your trust in Jesus Christ, may we invite you to do so right
now. He has removed the barrier that stands as a separation between you and God and
an abundant life of fellowship and significance as a child of God, but you must
personally receive Jesus Christ by faith. Your failure to personally trust in Christ as your
Savior is the only thing that stands between you and a personal relationship with God so
that you can begin to experience the abundant life of Christ and deliverance over your
sin, the powers of darkness, and the things that have held you in bondage (life
dominating patterns) all your life.

Just pray this prayer in faith (or one similar) and we assure you by the promises of the
Word of God, you will be saved and enter into the family of God as a child of God, born
anew by the Spirit of God.

“Father, I understand that I am a sinner and separated from you, but that Jesus Christ
has died for my sin and offers me eternal life and an abundant life can turn my life
around through a relationship with Him. Right now I turn from myself and place my
trust in Him as my personal Savior. Thank you heavenly Father for saving me and giving
me eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ.”

SAQ #1. In your own words, what is the difference between regeneration and
justification? ( 10 points )
Regeneration is an act of God in us and justification is an act of God with respect to us. 

SAQ #2. Do you agree that justification really brings blessings to us? Why or
Why not? ( 10 points )
Yes, When God justifies the sinner, who trusts in the Saving Grace of Jesus
Christ, all evidence of his sin and guilt is completely wiped out. "In those days,
and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there
shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon
them whom I reserve" (Jer. 50:20) this is the example that the Lord is omniscient
thus God does not see believers as forgiven sinners. He sees them, rather, as
those who have never sinned.

SAQ #3. Are you glad to know that when God forgives He also forgets? Why or
Why not? ( 10 points )
Not only does God forgive our sins, but he also forgets them! Scripture never
indicates that Jesus is now our creditor, and we must pay him back to be
forgiven. It emphasizes the direct opposite. It says God's forgiveness is so
complete that he no longer even remembers the sins!
SAQ # 4. Discuss how can a believer of Jesus demonstrate his faith? (10 points)
Through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, The sins of the believer are placed
on the account of Christ. "Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, so
that we, being dead in sins, might live in righteousness" (1 Pt. 2:24). Not only did Christ
pay the penalty for our sin, but His perfect obedience to the Law provided the
righteousness that God could give us. "For as by one man's disobedience many were
made sinners, so by one's obedience many will be made righteous" (Rom. 5:19). So we
have an amazing situation where Christ takes our sin upon Himself, while His
Righteousness is bestowed upon us. An incredible exchange! However, that is exactly
what God offers to those who will believe.
