Justification by Faith

Justification by Faith

Introduction

This paper presents a discussion on justification by faith in the context of the Book of Romans. The Book of Romans deals with concepts such as faith, righteousness, wrath, and salvation. The paper also presents a critical discussion on contemporary evangelical thought regarding faith. Apostle Paul is one of the most reverend figures in Christian theology. He has written the Book of Romans. Basically the book comprises of letters written by Paul to his contemporaries to highlight the importance of justification by faith in Christianity.

Romans 1: 17

Verse 17 of the first chapter of Romans says, "because in it the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written: The just shall live by faith." Martin Luther continues his reflections by saying, "well, I believe in Christ, as I was taught by faith in the Word of God and when I believe in him with the full assurance of my heart, something happens that is out my will is that I am justified by this knowledge. Verse 17 of the first chapter of the book of Romans says, "because in it the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written: The just shall live by faith." We become so righteous by faith. II Corinthians 5:21 tells us: "He who knew no sin he made to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him. "When we trust in Jesus Christ, God receives us as righteous.

Thesis

An exegetical study of the Book of Romans will show that Paul's intended purpose was to communicate God's righteousness and wrath are all encompassed by His justification based on our faith.

The Book of Romans tells us that we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ, by faith in his blood. This scriptural text found three factors by which God justifies the sinner, without betraying its own law. Given the crucial importance of these three factors, we consider one by one separately. As necessary, the justification of the sinner is first:

Only through Jesus ??Christ: In (Acts 4:12) we read: "And there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." This statement is absolutely clear that there is no savior or savior. The Lord Jesus was the one who paid the price for the debt of sin for all mankind. But we are not justified without appropriating the next two factors:

Only by grace: Secondly, the justification of man is only by grace. "For by grace are ye saved through faith and this not from yourselves, it is a gift (gift) of God: Not of works, no one can boast "(Ephesians 2:8-9). The Grace of God is defined as a ...
