Defining JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH: Justification is an act of God’s free grace, by
which He pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in His sight, only for the
righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone. It is not an
experience but a once and for all declaration by God which leads to the experience of
the Christian life known as ‘sanctification.’

QUOTE: ROBERT HALDANE, “To that righteousness [of Christ] is the eye of the believer
ever to be directed; on that righteousness must he rest; on that righteousness must he live;
on that righteousness must he die; in that righteousness must he appear before the
judgment seat; in that righteousness must he stand forever in the presence of a righteous
God.”
Isaiah 61:10
