Soteriological implicaitons of “another justification”

Without allowing for the historical context given to us in Acts and Galatians, which clearly shows us the theological problems that were happening in Jerusalem and what was being taught there erroneously, and treating James’ letter as an apostolic document (he was not an apostle!) rather than a historical/wisdom document that should be included in […]

What is true discipleship?

True discipleship involves abiding in the Gospel and allowing it to work in and through us. It is not about following a legalistic set of rules, but rather about understanding and trusting in Christ as our righteousness, sanctification, and reward. Loving one another and recognizing our fellow believers as sons and daughters of God is also a crucial aspect of true discipleship. The Gospel is the source and foundation of true discipleship, and through it, we bear fruit and become fully assured in our relationship with Christ. By abiding in Him, we allow Him to settle down and make His home in our hearts, and we become part of Him, “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh.” (John 4:14, John 7:37-38, John 8:32, 1 Corinthians 12:27)

If Abraham was justified by faith, and I’m justified the same way, what is different about us?

Learn about justification by faith and its implications for believers. Examining Abraham’s justification, we see that he was not regenerated to become a son of God, unlike present-day believers who are sealed with the Spirit of Promise and made heirs. This difference highlights God’s intention for a new creation, where believers are regenerated to become sons of God and justified through faith in Christ. Flesh cannot be justified by the Law, and it is only through faith in Christ that we can be justified before God. Both Abraham and present-day believers were justified by believing in Christ, but present-day believers have the added benefit of being baptized into Him and sharing a heavenly position and blessing as joint heirs with Christ.
