In Bible Institute last night, my pastor brought up a question: Where does justication take place?
When does justification take place?
My answer was that justification takes place at the Cross. This was not the answer he was looking for.
I did get the answer for the second part, Justification takes place for us,just like for the Phillipian Jailer"Sirs,what must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Justification takes place when a person turns away from their own way and repents, which is a turning to God through the work of the Holy Ghost. Belief is a gift of God.When God gives you saving faith,through the effectual calling of the Holy Ghost, you are justified. Forever.
But where does this event take place?
I am interested in your comments.
