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.

I would not change my life for any of the greatest dignities on earth. I am contented to consume my body, to sacrifice to God’s service, and to spend all that I have, and to be spent myself, for the souls of men. Richard Baxter
