I gave you the lexicon definition. It means to pronounce or declare righteous, which is the same thing as imputing righteousness or counting or reckoning righteousness for faith. (Romans 4:5). Our faith does not justify. The one we believe justifies us freely based entirely on the work of...

God is the one who justifies the ungodly. "Him that justifies the ungodly" is a participial phrase describing God. It does not mean that God justifies before faith, it just means that God is the one that justifies the ungodly. Read carefully. So Him the justifies the ungodly is a participle...

How do you define justification?

Justification and the act of God counting us righteous (by faith) IS THE SAME THING.

That is a false dichotomy. Justification is based on Christ’s work alone. Faith, which is not a work and is a gift of God is the means by which God justifies us.

Justification is based solely on the death of Christ. Salvation is based on the eternal purpose of God, the forekowledge and predestination of God, the death, resurrection, and High Priestly work of Christ. The state and standing of salvation which includes justification is given by God to...

a. Justification equals imputed righteousness b. Faith is counted for righteousness (imputed righteousness) equals justified through faith.

Justification before faith. I see it nowhere in scripture. Justification based on what Christ has done. Yes. Justication through faith and justification based on Christ’s work are not mutually exclusive.

Justification and imputed righteousness ( having faith counted for righteousness) is the same thing.

Are you saying you believe in two justifications? And this verse does not say anything about the temporal aspect of justification.

What do you think justified by faith or through faith means?

You’re still conflating justification and predestination. Just give me one verse where it specifically says that we were justified before we were born. Give me the clearest and best citation.

If we were justified before we were born, how then were we "children of wrath" before we were saved? (Ephesians 2:3) The primary cause which justifies a person before God is Christ's Work, but faith is the instrument that God uses to apply the benefits of Christ's work to those who believe...

No. Jesus was the propitiation (which satisfies the justice of God and that which removes what is standing in the way) for our sins, but justification happens when we believe. RIGHTEOUSNESS is not imputed until we believe. (Romans 4:23-25)

See Galatians 3:24

You are confusing foreknowledge and predestination with justification.

The Call precedes justification. Romans 8:28-30. Foreknown, predestined, called, justified, glorified. The call produces Faith and faith, (which is a gift of God), results in justification (as a secondary, not primary cause or instrument).

God justifies the Elect through faith.

Justification is the imputation of righteousness to a sinner, right? Romans 4 and other places say that righteousness is imputed to those who believe. So belief precedes justification. Though there definitely is the fact that God initiates salvation, not us, for foreknowing, predestination...

Faith which works by love. galatians 5:6
