Biblical Project SalvationWhat is justification?Justification is the work of God in which the moral righteousness of Jesus is given to the sinner, then the sinner is declared by God to be morally right under the Law. This moral righteousness is not earned or maintained by any effort of the saved. Justification is an immediate event whose result is eternal life. It is based completely and only on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross ("and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live according to moral righteousness; for by His wounds you have been healed." ) and is received through faith alone ("For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one can boast."). No work is required to achieve Justification. Otherwise it is not a gift ("For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"). Therefore, we are justified by faith (“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”). What is sanctification? Sanctification is the process of being set apart for God's work and being followed with the image of Christ. This getting along with Christ involves the work of the person, but it is still God working in the believer to produce a more godly character and life in the person who has already been justified ("for it is God who works in you, whether of wanting and of working for His good pleasure."). It is not immediate because it is not the work of God alone. The reasonable person is actively involved in submitting to God's will, in resisting sin, in seeking holiness, and in working to be more godly ("But the fruit of the Spirit... in the center of the card… Because we are his children, we inherit his sinful nature. Is baptism necessary for salvation? The answer is simple: “No, water baptism is not necessary for salvation. The reason why the baptism is not necessary for salvation it is that we are finished forever." reason and by faith, as in Rom. 5:1 (Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ) , and not by faith and a ceremony, as in Rom 4:1-11 It is the initiatory sign and seal of the agreement of grace. As circumcision refers to the erasure of sin and the changing of the heart, baptism refers to the cleansing of sin, seen in Acts 2:38 ("Peter said to". them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.").
