Justification: Forensic or Moral?

Justification: Forensic or Moral?

  • Semi-Technical
  • Francis Turretin

This article discusses the meaning of the word 'justification'. The Roman Catholic Church uses the word justification when speaking about the increase of moral righteousness. However, the word is actually used in scripture in a forensic way - God declaring us righteous in Christ.
