Justification In God’S Way
JUSTIFICATION
IN GOD'S WAY
The first three chapters of Romans unveil man's need for God's salvation. They show that we are helpless and hopeless and are under God's condemnation. Romans 3:21—5:1 goes on to reveal the accomplishment of His salvation, which is called justification. Justification is re lated to propitiation, redemption, and reconcili ation. In this booklet, we shall cover all these terms and seek to make them clear. However, we first need to consider the righteousness of God.
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD
God in Justice and Rightness
What is the righteousness of God? We may say that the righteousness of God is what God is with respect to justice and rightness (Rom. 3:21-22; 1:17; 10:3; Phil. 3:9). Furthermore, all that God is in His justice and rightness is actually Himself. The righteousness of God is a Person, not merely a divine attribute.
