Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

The righteousness merited by Christ

NO righteousness, no justification;
no justification, you remain in your condemnation! 


The righteousness merited by Christ:

- was freely DECREED for all the elect in eternity; this is justification by the decree of God; the fountain from which all the rest flowed.

- was freely SECURED at the cross, and freely IMPUTED to all the elect at the cross; this is justification by the blood of Christ, by the faith of Jesus Christ, i.e. His faithfulness in executing the work of redemption. 

- is freely APPLIED to each elect personally at their effectual calling out of their native state of sin and death to that of grace and salvation; justification freely by the grace of God.

- is EXPERIENCED and EVIDENCED by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; justification by faith in Christ. 

Understand these DISTINCT aspects of justification and save yourself from lots of inconsistencies and falsehood.
