- 7. Justification “Justification” refers to the status of being righteous in the sight of God. “Justification” can be paraphrased as “being right with God.” “To be justified” can be paraphrased as “to be put in a right relationship with God.” McGrath, Alister E.. Reformation Thought: An Introduction (p. 117). Wiley. Kindle Edition.
- 8. Luther’s Problem Scholasticism in Northern Europe took a great interest in the issue of justification. This led to many theories on justification. The Pope and church authorities did not have the means to settle on one theory. This region of humanists in Northern Europe took the view that just a modest turning towards God merited salvation. Martin Luther had a problem with sin – he did not see that he and others had anything at all the merited God’s salvation. The idea of “God’s righteousness” became a threat to Luther. It could only mean condemnation and judgement to Luther.
- 9. The Tower Experience I had certainly wanted to understand Paul in his letter to the Romans. But what prevented me from doing so was not so much cold feet as that one phrase in the first chapter: “the righteousness of God is revealed in it” (Romans 1:17). For I hated that phrase, “the righteousness of God,” which I had been taught to understand as the righteousness by which God is righteous, and punishes unrighteous sinners. … At last, as I meditated day and night on the relation of the words “the righteousness of God is revealed in it, as it is written, the righteous person shall live by faith,” I began to understand that “righteousness of God” as that by which the righteous person lives by the gift of God (faith); and this sentence, “the righteousness of God is revealed,” to refer to a passive righteousness, by which the merciful God justifies us by faith, as it is written, “the righteous person lives by faith.” This immediately made me feel as though I had been born again, and as though I had entered through open gates into paradise itself. From that moment, I saw the whole face of Scripture in a new light … And now, where I had once hated the phrase, “the righteousness of God,” I began to love and extol it as the sweetest of phrases, so that this passage in Paul became the very gate of paradise to me. McGrath, Alister E.. Reformation Thought: An Introduction (p. 120). Wiley. Kindle Edition.
- 10. Luther’s Insight God is not a harsh and indifferent judge. God does not reward us according to our merits. God is merciful and gracious. God bestows righteousness on the sinner as a gift. Repentance is seen a result of God’s grace, not a precondition for it.
- 11. What is Faith? Notitia – The content of faith. Assensus – Our conviction that the content of faith is true. Fiducia – Personal trust and reliance. Notitia AssensusFiducia Faith Not just one or two of these attributes makes saving faith, all three must be present.
- 12. What About Repentance? Faith and repentance are two sides of the same coin.
- 13. Luther’s Insight on Faith Faith is personal – it is not enough to believe in the historical content. Faith is trust – it is a trust in the promises of God and in God’s personal integrity to carry out those promises. Faith unites the believer with Christ.
- 14. Justification Through Faith The doctrine of “justification by faith” thus does not mean that the sinner is justified because he or she believes, on account of his or her faith. Rather, it involves recognizing that God provides everything necessary for justification, so that all the sinner needs to do is to receive it. In justification, God is active, and humans are passive. The phrase “justification by grace through faith” brings out the meaning of the doctrine more clearly: the justification of the sinner is based upon the grace of God, and is received through faith. McGrath, Alister E.. Reformation Thought: An Introduction (p. 122). Wiley. Kindle Edition.
