ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Justification by Faith Alone is the NT Message, The Book of Concord Witness, The Martin Luther Paradigm
Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Justification in the Book of Concord - From Thy St...":
Luther rejected the Universal Justification, as taught by today's Lutheran Synods and churches, in his sermon on Galations, "You cannot extricate yourself from unbelief, nor can the Law do it for you. All your works in intended fulfilment of the Law must remain works of the Law and powerless to justify in the sight of God, who regards as just only believing children."

God, who regards as just (Justified) only believing children.
The false teachers may try and say that Luther meant Subjective Justification but that is a perversion of what Luther consistently wrote and confessed.
There will never be an end to the (W)ELS deceptive manuever of "Wider" and Narrower" senses or Objective and Subjective. It allows them to interpret God's Word any way they want to suit their desires.
God does not allow for any interpretation of Scripture other than His own through Scripture.
2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
