VII.66. JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH

Summary

1. Justification is an act of God whereby He declares unjust sinners to be
just after He has imputed to them the righteousness of Christ.
2. No one can earn justification by good works.
3. Faith is the necessary condition to receive the imputation of the merits
of Christ.
4. Justification requires a living and real faith, not a mere profession of
faith.
