The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

Boasting excluded in our selves, asserted in God. The design and sum of the Apostles Argument. Objection of Socinus removed. Comparison between the two Adams, and those that derive from them. Sin entered into the World. What Sin intended. Death, what it compriseth. What intended by it. The sense of those words in as much, or in whom all have sinned, cleared and vindicated. The various oppositions used by the Apostle in this Discourse. Principally between Sin or the Fall, and the Free Gift. Between the disobedience of the one, and the obedience of another. Judgment on the one hand, and Justification ⟨image 12⟩unto Life on the other. The whole Context at large, explained, and the Argument for Justification by the Imputation of the Righteousness of Christ, fully confirmed. P. 464. Chap. 10. V. 3, 4. explained, and insisted on to the same purpose. Pag. 489. 1 Cor. 1.30. Christ, how of God made Righteousness unto us. Answer of Bellarmine unto this Testimony, removed. That of Socinus, disproved. True sense of the words evinced. P. 497. 2 Cor. 5.21. In what sense Christ knew no sin. Emphasis in that expression. How he was made Sin for us. By the Imputation of Sin unto him. Mistakes of some about this expression. Sense of the Ancients. Exception of Bellarmine unto this Testimony, answered; with other Reasonings of his to the same purpose. P. 502. The Exceptions of others also removed. Gal. 2.16. Pag. 513. Ephes. 2.8, 9, 10. Ephes. 2.8, 9, 10. Evidence of this Testimony. Design of the Apostle from the beginning of the Chapter. Method of the Apostle in the Declaration of the Grace of God. Grace alone the cause of Deliverance from a State of Sin. Things to be observed in the Assignation of the Causes of Spiritual Deliverance. Grace, how magnified by him. Force of the Argument, and evidence from thence. State of the Case here proposed by the Apostle. General determination of it. By Grace ye are saved. What it is to be saved, inquired into. The same as to be justified, but not exclusively. The causes of our Justification, declared Positively and Negatively. The whole secured unto the Grace of God by Christ, and our Interest therein through Faith alone. Works excluded. What Works? Not Works of the Law of Moses. Not Works antecedent unto believing. Works of true Believers. Not only in opposition to the Grace of God, but to Faith in us. Argument from those words.
