A. THE DEFINITION OF JUSTIFICATION Scriptural References: Psalm 32:2 “Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity.” Romans 4:8 “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
Justification is a change in a man's relation or standing with God. It has to do with the relations that have been disturbed by sin, and these relations are personal.  According to Deuteronomy 25:1, it means to declare or cause to appear innocent or righteous.  It is a question of relationship and means that a person is set in right relation with God.
Strictly speaking, justification is the judicial act of God whereby those who put faith in Christ are declared righteous, and declared free from guilt and punishment.
B. WHAT JUSTIFICATION CONSISTS OF 1. Forgiveness of sin and removal of its guilt. Scriptural References: Acts 13:38-39 .. “That through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things. “ Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
Justification means that all our sins are forgiven, and the guilt and punishment thereof removed.  Justification is more than mere acquittal.  It is handling the entire sin question.  Justification - “Just as if I'd never sinned.”
2. Imputation of the righteousness of Christ to the sinners. Scriptural References: Romans 3:22 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.” I Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
In the Old Testament righteousness was imputed only; in the New Testament righteousness is both imputed and imparted.  In justification it is imputed; in regeneration it is imparted by the Holy Ghost.
C. HOW WE ARE JUSTIFIED 1. Not by works Scriptural References: Romans 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified.” Romans 3:28 “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Ephesians 2:9 “Not by works, lest any man should boast.”
The first step then in justification is to despair of works. Good works follow but do not precede justification.  The working man is not justified then, but the justified man is the working man.
2. By faith Scriptural References: Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith.” Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Galatians 2:16 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.”
There are many Scriptures that may be given to show that faith is the chief condition to be met for justification. Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness (Romans 4:3). The condition that Abraham met is the condition that man must meet today.
However, let us always remember that Abraham obeyed God, Abraham had fellowship with God, and Abraham was so dedicated that he was willing to offer up Isaac, the promised son, on an altar of sacrifice.  Faith cannot be separated from repentance and obedience. The man who believes God will also obey the full gospel and walk in all the light he has.
D. THE EVIDENCE OF JUSTIFICATION Works must follow our faith as evidence of our faith.  If faith is there, the full gospel will be wholeheartedly obeyed.  There will be repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, followed by a holy life.  It is impossible for a man to believe God for salvation and rebel against being baptized in Jesus’ name or speaking in tongues.
E. SALVATION IN THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH The experience of the apostolic church is the experience of full New Testament salvation.
Let us note the scriptural records:
When is a man saved? We may understand the answer to this question by looking at the children of Israel.  When were they saved? They were saved when the blood was applied to the door of their homes, and yet they were not yet saved. They were saved when they crossed the Red Sea, however they were not yet saved.
When we understand the true meaning of salvation, the length and breadth, and the scope of this great experience, we will not make the mistake of pinpointing it to one single experience. Salvation embraces the entire experience with God from hearing the gospel until the saint is raptured at the coming of Jesus for His church.
Are you justified? GOD BLESS

Justification

  • 1.
  • 2. A. THE DEFINITION OF JUSTIFICATION Scriptural References: Psalm 32:2 “Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity.” Romans 4:8 “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”
  • 3. Justification is a change in a man's relation or standing with God. It has to do with the relations that have been disturbed by sin, and these relations are personal. According to Deuteronomy 25:1, it means to declare or cause to appear innocent or righteous. It is a question of relationship and means that a person is set in right relation with God.
  • 4. Strictly speaking, justification is the judicial act of God whereby those who put faith in Christ are declared righteous, and declared free from guilt and punishment.
  • 5. B. WHAT JUSTIFICATION CONSISTS OF 1. Forgiveness of sin and removal of its guilt. Scriptural References: Acts 13:38-39 .. “That through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things. “ Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.”
  • 6. Justification means that all our sins are forgiven, and the guilt and punishment thereof removed. Justification is more than mere acquittal. It is handling the entire sin question. Justification - “Just as if I'd never sinned.”
  • 7. 2. Imputation of the righteousness of Christ to the sinners. Scriptural References: Romans 3:22 “Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.” I Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”
  • 8. In the Old Testament righteousness was imputed only; in the New Testament righteousness is both imputed and imparted. In justification it is imputed; in regeneration it is imparted by the Holy Ghost.
  • 9. C. HOW WE ARE JUSTIFIED 1. Not by works Scriptural References: Romans 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified.” Romans 3:28 “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Ephesians 2:9 “Not by works, lest any man should boast.”
  • 10. The first step then in justification is to despair of works. Good works follow but do not precede justification. The working man is not justified then, but the justified man is the working man.
  • 11. 2. By faith Scriptural References: Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith.” Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Galatians 2:16 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.”
  • 12. There are many Scriptures that may be given to show that faith is the chief condition to be met for justification. Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness (Romans 4:3). The condition that Abraham met is the condition that man must meet today.
  • 13. However, let us always remember that Abraham obeyed God, Abraham had fellowship with God, and Abraham was so dedicated that he was willing to offer up Isaac, the promised son, on an altar of sacrifice. Faith cannot be separated from repentance and obedience. The man who believes God will also obey the full gospel and walk in all the light he has.
  • 14. D. THE EVIDENCE OF JUSTIFICATION Works must follow our faith as evidence of our faith. If faith is there, the full gospel will be wholeheartedly obeyed. There will be repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, followed by a holy life. It is impossible for a man to believe God for salvation and rebel against being baptized in Jesus’ name or speaking in tongues.

They were saved when the blood was applied to the door of their homes, and yet they were not yet saved. They were saved when they crossed the Red Sea, however they were not yet saved.
  • 19. When we understand the true meaning of salvation, the length and breadth, and the scope of this great experience, we will not make the mistake of pinpointing it to one single experience. Salvation embraces the entire experience with God from hearing the gospel until the saint is raptured at the coming of Jesus for His church.
