What do we mean by justification? Why was it such a contentious issue in the reformation? Does justification put anything in us or does it simply declare something about us? Is justification a permanent thing or is it a gradual thing? Do we become something in justification or are we declared to be something?
This week the curious team will take a long hard look at the biblical understanding of justification by faith. What does it mean to be justified? What does the Bible say about those who are justified? What does it mean to receive the imputed righteousness of Christ? How is Jesus’s passive and active obedience relevant to our justification? These questions and many more will be discussed and debated as the team seek to arrive at what they consider to be the New Testament perspective on this vitally important truth.
