A. Justification, which is the gracious Sentence of God the Father, whereby for the Satisfaction of CHRIST, apprehended by Faith, and imputed to the faithful, he absolves them from the Guilt and Condemnation of all Sins, and accepts them as perfectly righteous to eternal Life. Rom. 3.24, 25. Rom. 4.6.7, 8. Rom. 8.33, 34.
Q. What Difference is there between Justification, and Sanctification?
A. 1. Justification is by Christ Righteousness inherent in Christ only; Sanctification is by a Righteousness from CHRIST inherent in ourselves. 2 Cor. 5.21. Phil. 3.9.
