Justification By Faith

Three signals that justification is by "faith alone."

1. First, justification is a verdict delivered by God in a moment.
2. Second, the stupendous answer is that "Christ died for the ungodly". Point to the word ungodly is stress that faith is not our righteousness.
3. Third, "his faith is counted as righteousness."
