1 | Reconciling Scripture verses. | OT general | parpar | 200554 | ||
Hi Doc. My understanding is that a sinner is ,"justified", in the sense that he has done the right thing in accepting, "God's offer of salvation", and that is all I am saying. Now let me say something about the, "ungodly". All have sinned, and therefore all are ungodly.. I see three types of ungodly persons. 1. Those who say, "There is no God", and are of course fools as, Psalm 14, and Psalm 53, says. 2. Those who say, "There is God, but I hate Him", as Deu 5:9 says. 3. Those ungodly ones who are enabled by God to accept the salvation He offers. If you feel that my interpretation of, "ungodly", is incorrect, then please let me have your understanding of this term. Thank you. parpar. |

Dear parpar, Not going in depth regarding the rest of your posts on this particular thread… Can I point out that in part, it may be that your understanding of justified may be somewhat off the beaten path, so to speak. I don’t think God justifies because we have done the right thing in accepting his offer of salvation, but rather by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Jesus Christ unto us. And this not by anything we do, because it requires faith which is a gift from God to begin with. Romans 4:5-8: 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Ephesians 2:7-9: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. In faith lies the justification. Romans 5:1,2: 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Stand in His grace, WOS |
