Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus (Titus 2:13)

JUSTIFICATION, SUMMARY Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Justification and righteousness are inseparably united in Scripture by the fact that the same word (Greek, "dikaios", means "righteous"; Greek, "dikaioo", means "to justify") is used for both. The believing sinner is justified because Christ, having borne his sins on the cross, has been "made unto him righteousness" (1Co. 1:30). Justification originates in grace; (Rom. 3:24); (Tit. 3:4); (Tit. 3:5) is through the redemptive and propitiatory work of Christ, who has vindicated the law; (Rom. 3:24); (Rom. 3:25); (Rom. 5:9) is by faith, not works; (Rom. 3:28-30); (Rom. 4:5); (Rom. 5:1); ( Gal. 2:16); ( Gal. 3:8); ( Gal. 3:24) and may be defined as the judicial act of God whereby He justly declares righteous one who believes on Jesus Christ. It is the Judge Himself (Rom. 8:31-34) who thus declares. The justified believer has been in court, only to learn that nothing is laid to his charge. (Rom. 8:1); (Rom. 8:33); (Rom. 8:34).
