The doctrine of justification by faith alone is a central tenet of the Protestant Reformation, contrasting with the Roman Catholic Church's understanding of justification through infused righteousness. The Protestant view emphasizes the imputation of Christ's righteousness, while the Roman Catholic Church sees justification as a process of sanctification. The concept of instrumental cause, as discussed by Aristotle, is also relevant to the debate, with the Protestant reformers arguing that faith is the sole instrumental cause of justification.

The Roman Catholic View

The Roman Catholic view of justification emphasizes the role of baptism and faith as the initial steps, but requires cooperation with infused grace and works of satisfaction to maintain justification. In contrast, the Protestant view holds that justification is by faith alone, without the need for works or sacraments to maintain salvation. [... more]

The Ninety-Five Theses

Martin Luther's experience of salvation led him to re-read the Psalms and understand justification by faith on virtually every page of the Bible. This understanding was influenced by Augustine's interpretation of Romans 1, which described the righteousness of God as a righteousness that God provides for people who are not righteous. Luther's discovery of this concept led him to challenge the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences, which he saw as a corrupt practice that led people to believe they could buy salvation.

Understanding Suffering

The Bible teaches that suffering is never an exercise in futility, but rather a means for God to polish and sanctify His people, drawing them close to Himself. Christians are called to expect suffering as part of their fallen world and to find comfort in the presence of God, even in the midst of pain. The biblical view of suffering is in contrast to pagan views, which often seek to deny or escape suffering, and instead offers a redemptive purpose and a bridge to glory. [... more]

Knowing the Will of God

The question of knowing God's will for one's life is a complex one, with the Bible speaking about God's will in more than one way. The revealed will of God, or Deus Revelatus, refers to that which God has revealed, while the hidden will of God, or Deus Absconditus, refers to the things that God has not chosen to unveil. Christians must focus on the preceptive will of God, or the commands of God, to discern His will for their lives. [... more]
