On what basis does God accept a man? This is the most fundamental of all questions concerning salvation. Several answers have been given:
1. A life of complete obedience to the Law
2. Faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
3. Some other way
Many people in the churches give the wrong answer. In seminaries many professors give the wrong answer.
Honestly, my first inclination was #2. But is that the correct answer? Read the article and find out. Hint: Is faith the means/instrument of applying justification to the elect sinner? Or is faith itself the "basis" of justifying the sinner? Be careful how you answer.
