  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Justification

Add bookmark
KJV Dictionary Definition: JUSTIFICATION; In theology, remission of sin and absolution from guilt and punishment; or an act of free grace by which God pardons the sinner and accepts him as righteous, on account of the atonement of Christ.

(MY PARSING of KJ dictionary: ABSOLUTION from GUILT & PUNISHMENT. Believers are JUSTIFIED = Judicially Declared RIGHTEOUS freely thru God's grace & thru/by Belief/Faith, placed in Jesus FINISHED sacrificial sin atoning redemptive work. Found in Jesus death (sins required wage PAID), burial (proof Jesus died) & His resurrection (Fathers receipt, sins wage received & accepted) We become justified, sinless, in Gods eyes, the "MOMENT" we confess Jesus as Lord & we believe His was raised from death.

God now sees us as perfect, thru "Christ's faithfully obedient, sinless redemptive work" done on/in our behalf. It's our faith placed in Christ’s finished redemptive work & resurrection whereby He washes/removes ALL of our sin Rev 1:5.)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: JUSTIFICATION; denotes "the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal;" That God "justifies" the believing sinner on the ground of Christ's death, involves His free gift of life

(MY PARSING of Vines dictionary: We are justified & receive a Full Sin ACQUILTTAL. When a sovereign God judicially pronounces us righteousness. Bases on our faith placed in Christ's FAITHFUL, Finished, redemptive work & resurrection.)

Only God/Jesus truly knows our heart. When our confession & belief in Him are honest. He (only He can) baptizes us with is eternally sealing, indwelling Holy Spirit. And we become justified, sanctified & He is glorified. Amen & amen.
