Justified by Faith

[MB]

Some believe being justified by faith is a process, as long as we are faithful, we remain justified, sort of a works sustained salvation. This is a mistaken view in my opinion.

On the other hand, I believe we are justified forever when God puts us spiritually in Christ, because in Christ when we sin, it is just as if we did not sin. Secondly because if we are actually spiritually in Christ, our faith in Christ is protected by God, I believe we will strive to become Christ-like until we are called home. Now some of us will be sidetracked, building of the foundation of Christ with straw, and not earn eternal rewards, but we will all enter heaven, some abundantly, others as if escaping from a fire.

A men to this.

The Cross itself is the basis of salvation for any of us, faith is JUST means we access that Grace that God applied to all believers in jesus...

God applies the effectual grace from the death of jesus on Cross moment we believe, buts its the Cross not faith that saves and secures any of us!

How about being saved by Grace,that being, "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Whom God hath set forth a propitiation through faith in his blood, And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the whole world."

Through faith in his blood, being, "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Which Paul calls, the faith of Christ in many places, which I believe to be the correct translation. Romans 1:4,5 says, for the obedience of faith of Jesus unto death God through resurrection declared him the Son of God and through Jesus was made an apostle among the nations for the name sake of Jesus. In chapter 16 it is the same, it was for the obedience of faith of Jesus that the gospel is carried to all nations.

It is by the grace of God sending his Son and the faith of the Son unto death even death on the cross by which man shall be saved.

Titus 3:5 says the exact same thing. According to his mercy he saved us. That is did what was necessary for us to be saved. How according to his mercy? By being made the mercy seat, a propitiation, how by his obedience unto death called the washing of regeneration, Resurrected to live and receiving from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit. This is the promise made to Abraham and his one seed the Christ. The promise of the Holy Spirit that would come to the nations from God the Father through the Son, the rest of Acts 2:33 he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. And Titus 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
