Shows a failure to distinguish between justification and sanctification and necessitates justification by infused righteousness.
extra nos = justification
intra nos = sanctification
supra nos = glorification
Good points Dan, but I see the idea of the "righteousness of God" encompassing all three aspects throughout scripture.
I have said before that one can show distinctions without obliterating where justification and sanctification overlap. If we make a total dichotomy between the two then how can sanctification be the result of justification ? And how can we said to be judged by our works ?
1. Is sanctification the result of justification? Centainly all who are justified will be sanctified, but sanctification is the result of what has been done in us.
The former [justification] is founded on what Christ has done for us; the latter [sanctification] is the effect of what He does in us. -Hodge, Systematic, volume III.
2. When we are judged by our works, is this not a different justification than Paul refers to in Rom 4:5?
