\u2026 we have been justified through faith \u2026<\/p>\n
The Bible, Romans 5:1<\/i><\/p>\n
It is through faith that Almighty God has justified all that have been from the beginning of time.<\/p>\n
Clement of Rome<\/i><\/p>\n
For if there was no justification before faith, there can be none by it, without making faith the cause or condition of it.<\/p>\n
John Gill<\/i><\/p>\n
Judas knew the Scriptures, and without doubt did assent to the truth of them, when he was so zealous a preacher of the gospel; but he never had so much as one drachma of justifying faith in his soul \u2026 Yea, Judas\u2019 master, the devil himself, one far enough (I suppose) from justifying faith, yet he assents to the truth of the Word. He goes against his conscience when he denies them; when he tempted Christ he did not dispute against the Scripture, drawing his arrows out of this quiver . . . Assent to the truth of the Word is but an act of the understanding, which reprobates and devils may exercise. But justifying faith is a compounded habit, and hath its seat both in the understanding and will: and, therefore, called a \u201cbelieving with the heart\u201d (Romans 10:10) yea, a \u201cbelieving with all the heart\u201d (Acts 8:37).<\/p>\n
William Gurnall<\/i><\/p>\n
1. Faith without works is sufficient for salvation, and alone justifies.<\/p>\n
2. Justifying faith is a sure trust, by which one believes that his sins are remitted for Christ\u2019s sake; and they that are justified are to believe certainly that their sins are remitted.<\/p>\n
3. By faith only we are able to appear before God, who neither regards nor has need of our works; faith only purifying us.<\/p>\n
4. No previous disposition is necessary to justification; neither does faith justify because it disposes us, but because it is a means or instrument by which the promise and grace of God are laid hold on and received.<\/p>\n
5. All the works of men, even the most sanctified, are sin.<\/p>\n
6. Though the just ought to believe that his works are sins, yet he ought to be assured that they are not imputed.<\/p>\n
7. Our righteousness is nothing but the imputation of the righteousness of Christ; and the just have need of a continual justification and imputation of the righteousness of Christ.<\/p>\n
8. All the justified are received into equal grace and glory; and all Christians are equally great with the virgin Mary, and as much saints as she is.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther, Eight statements on justifying faith<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith alone justifies us \u2026 because faith brings us the spirit gained by the means of Christ.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith, thus receiving and resting on Christ and his righteousness, is the alone instrument of justification; yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied with all the saving graces, and is no dead faith, but worketh by love.<\/p>\n
