Active obedience and Passive obedience - BOTH are needed
Leongsie
Most preachers say
that we are justified by the blood of Christ. But they never mention that
Christ's obedience to the law also justified us. That's why I am inquiring.
Sing
To be PRECISE, most
preachers say that we are JUSTIFIED by our faith in Christ, and we are SAVED by
the blood of Christ.
BOTH of them are
false.
You hardly ever hear
them teach that guilty condemned sinners
are justified by the FAITH and BLOOD of Christ, THAT IS, by. BOTH the ACTIVE
and PASSIVE OBEDIENCE of Christ.
The condemned is not
justified by his faith in Christ; he is justified by BOTH the FAITH and BLOOD
of Christ.
Justified by the
FAITH of Christ and justified by the BLOOD of Christ speak of distinct and
separate aspects in justification.
The faith of Christ
speaks of the faithfulness of Christ (i.e. ACTIVE obedience) in rendering perfect and complete
obedience to all the laws of God thus securing the righteousness needed for
justification.
The blood of Christ
speaks of His laying down His life (PASSIVE obedience) for His people, to bear
away the just and righteous wrath of God upon their sins; thus securing the needed
forgiveness for His people.
BOTH the ACTIVE and
PASSIVE OBEDIENCE are needed in the justification of the condemned.
In justifying the condemned,
God imputes to them the righteousness of Christ AND forgives them of all their
sins, the wages of which is death, and to which Christ has rendered full
payment by His BLOOD, i.e. His PASSIVE obedience in laying down His life in
bearing away the just wrath of God for His people.
BOTH the ACTIVE and
PASSIVE obedience of Christ are needed for eternal salvation.
May the Lord bless
you to know the truths of these passages...
Romans 5 KJT
9 Much more then,
being now JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him...
18 ¶Therefore as by
the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so BY THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE, the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life...
19 For as by one
man's disobedience many were made sinners, so BY THE OBEDIENCE ONE, shall many
be made righteous.
Yes, the OBEDIENCE
OF ONE,
Both the ACTIVE and
PASSIVE obedience of Christ.
Philippians 2:8 KJT
— And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient
unto death, even the death of the cross.

Jas 2:24 KJV Ye see
then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
A man .....And not by faith ONLY.....there is justification by faith (believing)in Christ...
Saulo
Jorge, what do you mean by that, "justification by faith in Christ Pastor?
Sing
Jorge, thanks, Brother. Yes, there is indeed.
But saying
A BELIEVER is
justified by his faith, and
Saying
A CONDEMNED is
justified by his faith
are saying vastly
different things.
Experiential
justification by faith in Christ, and
Vital justification
by the grace of God, and
Legal justification
by the faith and blood of Christ
Are completely distinct aspects of
justification.
Most know the first but are clueless about the latter two.

Sing, yep i
agree...
Sing F Lau
Jorge, only a man whom God
HAS freely justified by His grace, BASED SOLELY on BOTH the active and passive
obedience of Christ, is capable of believing in Christ,
Saulo Saulo
Jorge, true, there are different courts where justification is pronounced.
Those others knew
only that justification by the faith in Christ.l
