Galatians Has a Lot To Say about Justification -
Has Anyone Read Luther's Commentary?
Buchholz? Buchholz? Anyone?



A. Berean has left a new comment on your post "Luther, Following Paul, Recognized Two Justificati...":

It is interesting to note that while Galatians 5:4 is cited frequently against Roman Catholics and other work-centered religions, the following verse is forgotten.

"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith."

Again, as Paul stresses in all of his Epistles, there are only two types of justification: Justification by the Law (which is impossible) or Justification by Faith (Divine monergism).

A Happy Christmas to all of you!
