​JUSTIFICATION BY GRACE, BY FAITH AND BY IMPUTATION

1. To be justified is to be made righteous or to be changed. Galatians 2:16,20; 1 Corinthians 6:11

     2.   Justification by Grace: God’s attitude toward us. Titus 3:7
a. It is not our works that makes God owe us righteousness or justification. Romans 4:2,4
b. It is by God’s mercy, kindness or favour that he justifies us when we fulfil the right conditions. Romans 4:16,22-24 

    3.   Justification by Faith: God’s instrument. Galatians 2:16
a. Faith is not believing. James 2:19; 2 Thessalonians 3:2
b. Faith is the revealed truths of God. 1 Timothy 4:6; Romans 10:8
c. Righteousness is the Divine Nature. Jeremiah 23:5,6
d. Righteousness is in faith. Romans 1:16,17; Romans 10:6, Proverbs 12:17
e. Thus to give us righteousness God uses the conveying instrument of faith. Romans 3:22; Philippians 3:9
f. Thus we are justified by holy knowledge. Isaiah 53:11 

    4.   Justification by Imputation: God’s method. Romans 4:16,22
a. The faith and righteousness is reckoned or counted to us. Romans 4:5,6
b. God gives them to us by counting them to us. Romans 4:24 

     5. Thus of the science of Salvation the following points are important.

1. Justification by Grace: God’s attitude in changing us.
2. Justification by Faith: God’s instrument to give us righteousness to change us
3. Justification by Imputation: The method God uses to give us faith for its righteousness.
