Justification and Saving Faith

James Dodson

JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE AND THE NATURE OF SAVING FAITH. 


“No man is made partaker of the life of Justification, before Faith; or that untill souls exercise faith, they are without this life of Justification. Some talk of a Justification from Eternity; & thus confound Justification with Gods love of Election; or with Gods decree & purpose to justifie. Some speak of Justification of all, in the death of Christ; but neither is this to be admitted, if we speak of actual Justification”—John Brown, of Wamphray, The Life of Justification Opened (1695).

1836-Gilbert McMaster.-In this review of Charles Hodge’s commentary on Romans, McMaster expresses his deep agreement and gratitude to Professor Hodge for his defense of numerous points of orthodoxy regarding the Person of Christ and the Protestant doctrine of justification. All of this is presented in the form of a general Calvinist concord. Where McMaster expresses some disappointment is when Hodge discusses civil magistracy and church fellowship. This is interesting considering that McMaster himself had strayed form those very principles when he acceded to the New Light position, in 1832 and 1833. Still the production is helpful and instructive.

Remarks on the Duration of Future Punishment.

1821-Samuel Brown Wylie.-In this series of articles, Wylie explains why there is no injustice in God for punishing what seem to be finite sins with an infinite duration. He reminds his readers that all sin is against an infinite God and His infinite majesty. There is, in this discussion, an excellent discuss of what makes the same physical action in one case virtuous and in another vice. Wylie moves from related topic to related topic, discussing particular redemption in some detail, including examining texts usually asserted to teach universal redemption. He ends with an instructive discussion of the nature of the Mediatorial reign of Christ and a philological assault on Universalism.
