“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” | Romans 3: 28

Most preachers, church members, and Bible teachers agree with this statement, “A man is justified by faith.”

But when we define, from the Scriptures, what Paul is actually saying here, we have great disagreement.

“John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” (Luke 3: 16)

1.) WHO JUSTIFIES? “It is God that justifieth.” Salvation is of the Lord from origination to consummation.

2.) WHOM DOES HE JUSTIFY? “The ungodly.” There are not a lot of folks standing in line to take this title unto themselves.

3.) HOW DOES HE JUSTIFY? “By grace through faith in Christ.” His blood and righteousness is our peace and holiness. By His doing and dying He – alone – enables God to be just and justifier!

4.) WHERE DOES SAVING FAITH COME FROM? “It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Yes!

I do believe a man is justified by faith!
