| "The just shall live by faith..." is a declaration of fact about the just, i.e. they shall live by faith; IT IS NOT a prescription for how the condemned can be justified by God. THIS is ELEMENTARY. |

Sola Fidei is a Devil's Lie, yet so many love
it!
Sola fidei, the 16th-century Reformation doctrine - 'faith alone in Christ' for one's justification before God - is a great LIE introduced by the devil to corrupt the mind of God's children.
My LEGAL condemnation took place in the
garden of Eden;
EVEN SO,
My LEGAL justification took place at the
cross.
If my legal justification hadn't taken place
at the cross... I am undone. Will Christ die one more time to take away my
sins?
That great double imputation took place at the cross - ALL my sins were
legally imputed to Christ, and Christ's perfect righteousness was LEGALLY
imputed to me.
Those who reject that their LEGAL justification took place at the cross... i.e. that their sins were not imputed to Christ and He died in the place as a legal substitute... when do they hope to have their sins taken away? That Christ would die one more time for them??? They have just missed the ONLY occasion ordained of God for the taking away of sins... foolish.
Deceived people insist that their LEGAL justification takes place at their act of believing in Jesus Christ! They believe those UNjustified, i.e. still under the state of condemnation, are capable of believing to have their condemnation removed, i.e. justified by God! And they still foam at the mouth that it is by free grace!
My legal condemnation was applied and becomes PERSONAL at my conception... being conceived and born in sin.
My legal justification was applied and becomes PERSONAL at my regeneration... being called out of my native state of sin and condemnation.
A sinner's personal condemnation IS -IS - IS EXPERIENCED through his acts of sin and unrighteousness, which MANIFEST his native state of condemnation.
My personal justification IS -IS - IS
EXPERIENCED through my act of believing in Christ Jesus, which EVIDENCES my state of justification by God's free grace.
