Bible Question:
Dear Forum, If God justifies us "declares us righteous" as a gift, then are we, for all practical purposes, always righteous before Him or can we lose our justification? McGracer |
Bible Answer: You are asking two different questions here. We are in a continuous judicial state of righteous before him because of Christ's righteousness on our records. We are declared righteous and a truce exists between us and God at the moment we possess saving faith in Christ (Romans 5:1). Can we lose our justification? Nope. See Romans 8:34. Our salvation is preserved by God. However, our lives can show us to have been never truly justified in the first place. --Joe! |
