Christian justification?

Question

Paul never heard the word "Justification" in his life, today "Justification" has become a foundational doctrine of Christianity. Justification has become a religious license for millions to live carnal, unfaithful lives under the label of a "Christian".

Answer 1

Christians are justified by the faith they have in the grace offered by the sacrifice of Messiah Yashua.

Those who continue in the sins as defined by the Bible miss the whole point of repentance and justification. To them it is just a pretty buzz word to justify their dead actions.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. (!!!!) How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

What is sin? 1 John 3:4

The Torah or Law is not "Jewish" Law. It is not Moses's Law. It is God's Law. And those who continue breaking it and ignoring it's definition of sin are in no way justified.

1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him

IN other words, if you do not keep His commandments you cannot know God and you cannot be justified.

How is the true chuch of God defined in the end time?

Revelations 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Those people are the ones who will be justified.

Answer 2

No the true christian does not live carnal unfaithful lives. We are only justified by the blood of Christ but once saved how can a real christian live with sin. No we are not perfect but when we do sin we are remorseful and repent and with the help of the Holy Spirit we can do better and indeed do try to be more like Christ. All Praise Honor and Glory to the Father!

Answer 3

Just what is an "unfaithful life" Are you talking about rejecting the model that God is the boogieman in the sky and will strike you down if you dont' do what he says...

Is unfaithful life, not going along with a President who has murdered 100's of thousands of innocent people?

What does carnal mean.. Are you talking about sex, but your so screwed up from being brainwashed you cant even use that word?

I do agree that millions of christians live unfaithful lives under the label of Christians. That they are immoral, evil, self serving, arrogant, brainwashers and charlatons who are on the take for a buck....

Answer 4

Jesus Christ is the WAY of salvation, the path to the kingdom of God.

Jesus Christ is the TRUTH of God’s Word, the living Word.

Jesus Christ is the LIFE eternal, the tree of life.

Jesus never fought.

Jesus never killed.

Jesus had the power to take life, but never did. He restored it.
Jesus received his calling from God.

Jesus performed many miracles including healing people, calming a storm with a command, and raising people from the dead.

Jesus voluntarily laid his life down for others.

Jesus died and rose from the dead.

Answer 5

Have you actually read Paul's letter to the Romans?

I don't know the Greek, but I wonder what word he actually used that's translated as "Justified." Do you even pause to consider how ignorant you are when you read something like my response, or do you just keep plunging on creating your own theology?

Rom 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man {be found} a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."
Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.)
Rom 3:6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
Rom 3:7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?
Rom 3:8 And why not {say} (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.
Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE . . .

Rom 3:19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;
Rom 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law {comes} the knowledge of sin.
Rom 3:21 But now apart from the Law {the} righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, Rom 3:22 even {the} righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Rom 3:24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Rom 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. {This was} to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; Rom 3:26 for the demonstration, {I say,} of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Rom 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Rom 3:29 Or is God {the God} of Jews only? Is He not {the God} of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Rom 3:30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.


Godspeed.

Answer 6

Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:2
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
Romans 4:5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 8:30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Amazing how the translators used this word from the same Greek word.

Answer 7

Justification means "to be made just". To live carnally is obviously unjust. Thus, a man who lives carnally is not justified.

Answer 8

Galatians 3:8 and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto abraham, saying in thee shall all nations be blessed.

christians should mortify not justify sin.

Answer 9

I don't know what you were hoping to hear but it sort of reminds me of how often I encounter these 'Christians' who sneer at others for being imperfect or sinning... and it makes me cringe because Jesus, by contrast, actually went out of His way to be kind to sinners. Don't they realise how disgusted He probably is with their haughty behaviour? I cannot stand it when I read or overhear other supposed Christians who seem to have utterly lost track of this fact!

Answer 10

Believe me Paul knew what it meant in his day
