Question 58
Section 2: Of the Holy Ghost
But when thou believest all these things, what profit redoundeth thence unto thee?
That I am righteous in Christ before God, and an Heira of eternal Life.
But when you believe all these things, what profit redounds thence unto you?
That I am righteous in Christ before God, and an Heira of eternal Life.
a. Romans 1:17; John 3:36; Romans 3:4,22,24–25,28; Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8–9
Romans 1:17
1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
1:17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
John 3:36
3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him."
Romans 3:4; Romans 3:22; Romans 3:24–25; Romans 3:28
3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
3:4 Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: "So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge." 3:22 And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 3:24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 3:25 God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand. 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 5:1
5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians 2:16
2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
2:16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Ephesians 2:8–9
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 2:9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
