FAQ # 92
QUESTION 92 : Is Justification another gospel or as one person puts
it "eternal security is another gospel"?
Given the much info already in chapter 5, "What does justification
mean?" you'll see that Justification is all what the gospel is about
- making men holy again; after Adam disenfranchised us from it. Some of
the teachings and benefits of Justification are as follows, from a previous
FAQ:
Breast plate of righteousness - Must be had if you are to remain saved and be biblical
optimistic, "Stand therefore…having on the breastplate of righteousness
" (Eph 6:14).
No more works
- You need not perform periodical religious sacrileges to God for purging
of sins or retention of salvation, "Who needeth not daily, as those
high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then
for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself "
(Heb 7:27).
We are purchased or owned by God - You are owned by God and thus protected by him. A
sure seal of victory, honor, dominion and love. "They shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28).
No condemnation - Even if…, no one can condemn you for anything,
being Justified;" No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn"
(Isa 54:17).
Born-again believers are higher than angels - Many don't even have a clue
to what Christ have done for them, he made them second to him, far above
all principalities and all powers that be; hence giving us the birthright
of all his creation. “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits
of his creatures” (James 1:18).
You become perfect - The only thing in existence that is perfect
is God and through Christ he cause us to share in that, making us perfect
and forever holy. Our status and nature changes to his. "For by one
offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified" (Heb
10:14)
So it is evident that Justification, a section of it called "eternal
security", is a true biblical doctrine.
