I have been led to do a study on the topic of Justification; when and How are Gods Elect Justified. Until recently I was unaware of the distinct perspectives even within reformers themselves. SInce I believe Paul received the full and final revelation from Christ, I have concentrated my efforts in his writings. Paul claims 5 aspects that need to be understood:
1) By Faith
2) By the faith of Christ
3) By His blood
4) By His Death
5) By His Grace
Taking these all into consideration, as well as the belief in:
1) Eternal Justification
2) Justification at the poin t of believing
3) Justification at the cross
4) Justification at the judgment
I am wondering if all these have some truth, but which one is scripturally supported the most.
And also what is the relationship of faith to our justification.
