\\ “a man will be justified by faith when, excluded from the righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.

Thus we simply interpret justification, as the acceptance with which God receives us into his favor as if we were righteous; and we say that this justification consists in the forgiveness of sins and the imputation of the righteousness of Christ,” (see sec.

21 and 23.) John Calvin /Justification by Faith/

\\ “/For to include faith in Repentance, is repugnant to what Paul says in Acts 20:21- that he testified “both to the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord and //Savior Jesus Christ” Where he mentions faith and repentance, as two things totally distinct.

What is Calvin saying?

To make a christians Repentance a condition of Salvation is wrong.

Metonia just means a change of mind, a change of attitude.

So In Acts 2 and 3 where we saw “Repent” statements to the unsaved the request was that they change their minds about Christ being the Messiah.

However Repentance in one's life with regards to sin has to do with the “Working out of Ones Salvation.”

\\ /Answer to Question 1: What do I need to be saved from?/

\\ /The answer is clear.

For the unsaved you need to be saved from the Penalty of sin.

(The wages of sin are death) For the saved you need to be saved from the power of Sin, and eventually you WILL be saved from the presence of sin in Heaven./

The doctrine of Sanctification.

/

\\ /Sanctification in scripture has three facets.

Sanctification phase 1.

From set apart from sin.

New destination is heaven.

Sanctificaiton phase 2 deals with the power of sin in our life.

And before we were children of darkness, but like Paul says we no longer have to walk like corpses, we have the choice to walk like Children of life.

Under the mentor ship of God the Holy Spirit.

\\ /The origins of Justification by Works /

\\ /Justification defined: /To justify is to declare one righteous.

It is a judicial term indicating that a verdict of acquittal has been announced, and so excluding all possibility of condemnation.

Indeed, in Scripture, justification is invariably set over against condemnation (Deu 25:1; Ro 5:16; 8:33–34).

Justification is always accomplished on a just basis, namely, that the claims of God’s law against the sinner have been fully satisfied.

Justification is not because of any overlooking, suspending, or altering of God’s righteous demands, but because in Christ all of His demands have been fulfilled.

Christ’s perfect life of obedience to the law and His atoning death which paid its penalty are the bases for our justification (Ro 5:9).

Justification could never be based on our good works, for God requires perfect obedience and this is impossible for man.

The means of justification is faith (

Ryrie, C. C. (1995, c1972).

/A survey of Bible doctrine/.

Chicago: Moody Press.

\\ /One of the most successful tools of the Devil in polluting the Gospel of Christ is Justification by Works.

When we view this false doctrine as being authored by Satan it paints a clearer picture of the never ending attack against the truth of the Gospel.

Many Christians who hold to one or more tenants of Justification by works don't even recognize or will even put their particular brand of theology in that category.

/

\\ /Often they will start by stating “We are justified by faith alone.”

but... and once you start the but game your adding to the pure gospel.

\\ /And don't give me the lame answer that beliving in something is a work.
