If Abraham was justified by faith, and I’m justified the same way, what is different about us?

Leave a Comment / christ-as-righteousness / By DavidBenjamininChrist

Learn about justification by faith and its implications for believers. Examining Abraham’s justification, we see that he was not regenerated to become a son of God, unlike present-day believers who are sealed with the Spirit of Promise and made heirs. This difference highlights God’s intention for a new creation, where believers are regenerated to become sons of God and justified through faith in Christ. Flesh cannot be justified by the Law, and it is only through faith in Christ that we can be justified before God. Both Abraham and present-day believers were justified by believing in Christ, but present-day believers have the added benefit of being baptized into Him and sharing a heavenly position and blessing as joint heirs with Christ.

The Gospel is the foundation and essence of our faith, providing ongoing transformative power and remaining the initial message of salvation. It is the power of God unto salvation and the foundation of our discipleship, as we continue to abide in it and bear fruit.
