Reading Piper's Future of Justification I found this quote from Wright, that Piper didn't dive too much into lexical studies, so to speak, about it: “The word dikaioø is, after all, a declarative word, declaring that something is the case, rather than a word for making something happen or changing the way something is."
So I was wondering if someone could explain why that it is not merely the case. No doubt, it being a forensic and declarative the reformed would agree but, obviously it is not merely God's stating something that has already happened to a believer.
