It is the doctrine "by which the Church stands or falls." It's the beating heart of the gospel. For the Protestant Reformers, this chief article of the Christian faith was well worth the ink, blood, sweat, and tears shed defending it.
We're talking about the doctrine of "justification".
In the Bible, to "justify" is a forensic term (legal/courtroom language) that means "to declare righteous". While the Bible quite clearly defines the 'what', 'why', and 'how' of justification, by the time of Martin Luther, the definition of "justification" had become tremendously buried by manmade rules and to-do lists. A need to return to and re-champion the Biblical definition was needed then - as it is continually needed in every generation.
Is our justification a process? Or is our justification a proclamation? Why are we declared righteous? On account of what? On account of whom?
In this episode of The Manna Podcast, Sam Jeske and Jacob Lewis wrap up their discussion of Article III on the Son of God and shift gears to talking Article IV on justification.
