David Vallance expounds the truth of justification by faith.
- It is a one time event, not an ongoing process
- It is a declaration not an infusion
- It differs from sanctification, but is closely related
- It is more than “Just as if I had never sinned”
- Old Testament justification is the same as New Testament justification
- N.T. Wright’s “new view” of justification is erroneous
- In justification a righteous standing from God is imputed to the believing sinner
- Christ personal law-keeping is not the righteousness that is imputed
- Justification is by faith alone
- “Justification by works” in James’s epistle is simply the idea that a believer’s talk and walk should match
