The True Christian’s Faith and Experience #012 Chapter 08 Justification
The process of justification follows God’s work of sanctification. In justification the true Christian is found righteous or upright in the eyes of God. He is justified. He is pardoned/vindicated/exonerated. By the free gift of God the true Christian’s ego is no longer at work and his self righteousness is destroyed. His righteousness now exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites. No one can lay any charge against this elect whom God has justified.
