Justification by Faith Outdated?Â
Benjamin Warfield
Sometimes we are told that Justification by Faith is "out of date." That would be a pity, if it were true. ...There is no justification for sinful men except by faith... If we are to be justified at all, it must be on the ground of the merits of Another, whose merits can be made ours by faith. And that is the reason why God sent his Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life....Justification by Faith is nothing other than obtaining everlasting life by believing in Christ. If Justification by Faith is out of date, then is salvation through Christ out of date. And as there is none other name under heaven, given among men, wherein we must be saved, if salvation through Christ is out of date then is salvation itself out of date....
