​​​Book of Romans Chapter Five.  ​

The doctrine of Justification is the act of God whereby our legal standing in heaven is changed and we are declared righteous.   Romans 5:1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with G od through our Lord Jesus Christ.

When a sinner is saved by God's grace through faith, God imputes the righteousness of Christ to the believing sinner, whereby, the sinner becomes a child of God by virtue of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

  • Due To Sin's Conception- 12a   ...sin entered into the world...
  • Due To Sin's Consequence  - 12b, 14   ...death passed upon all men...

II.  The Reaction To Justification - vs.15-21

  • God's Grace Is Amazing - 15  ...much more the grace of God...
  1. Conceived By One - vs.15b  ...which is by one... John 14:6
  2. ​Received By Many - vs.15c  ...hath abounded unto many...
  • God's Grace Is A-Must - 16, 19
  1. Because of Condemnation - vs.16,19a
  2. Because of Justification - vs.19b  ...shall many be made righteous...
  • God's Grace Is Abundant - 20-21  ...grace did much more abound...
  1. The Role of Grace - 20  ...grace did much more...
  2. The Rule of Grace - 21 

​Note:  The Rule of Reality - 21a  ...grace reign...

Note:  The Rule of Reliability - 21b  ...by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Justification of a sinner is based squarely on Christ Crucified, thus, God is satisfied in declaring the believing sinner righteous. Salvation cannot be achieved, only received (John 1:12). 

In summary.  Justification is by faith... not faithfulness.
