It isa disposition of the soul according to which we have a constant will 10 fender to, and preserve for, every man his due. See also Righteousness. P.S. WATSON Justification 1. General Meaning. Justification is making ot being made just or righteous; showing or being shiown to be in the right (or at least blameless); putting or being put right with God. Both Catho- lie and Protestant teaching is that man is not by nature righteous, but sinful. Hence, he is not in & right but a wrong relation to God, and he cannot pput himself right. He can only be put right by finding pardon and aeceptance with God through God's grace. As to how this comes about, Catho- lic and Protestant views differ 2. Protestont Interpretation. In classical Protest- ant theology, man isjusted by faith alone? (soa fide), oF more precisely, by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. The word “alone is meant to exclude all thought of sinful man’s doing or deserving ~all works" and ‘merits of his—as in any way motivating his justiffeation, 1843 Admittediy, to have faith or (o believe is some. thing man does, and itisin a sense condition his justiication; but itis so only inthe way heh holding out one's hand to receive a gift isa ont dition of receiving it. The gospel tels us thors free pardon for our sins and fll acceptance wag God for us on the sole basis of God's ate Chast. To believe this is to confess thet we ate sinners, and that God in is grace accepts evens sinners though we are. Faith is our asceptanne God's pardon and acceptance of us, whereby alone we are pardoned and accepted, that justifed. But the word ‘alone’ is not meant to exchude a human activity. For although Luther, for at ample, maintains that faith alone justies with: out any, even the smallest works, Yet he heartily agrees with St James that ‘faith without works dead! (James 226) Hence he strongly attacks twe mnisintepretations of sola fide. First, there are those who conceive of faith a8 an inward dispost tion, a ‘quality i the heart’, on account of which God will forgive their sins and treat them ey righteous, while they neglect or even refuse to sae God where he may be found, namely in the oat ward means of grace, the word and sacramentsor the gospel. They are in effect turning faith into a hhuman "Work’ and despising the works of Ged ‘Then thore are those who neglect or even reject Jove and good works as the necessary fruit of living faith, Against these, Luther insists that ‘justification isa kid of regeneration to newness of life’ naturally, sinee it means entering into a nw relationship of trust and obedience towards God {see Faith (2)). Hence, while “Taith alone justifies, yet faith is never alone; it is never with, ‘ut lowe and the works of love. Indeed, ‘where there is not love, asither is there faith, but mere bypocrisy’. (See also Simul Justus et Peceator') In Protestantism after Luther, however, jus tification came to be thought of simply asthe Tor iveness or non-imputation of sin, while renewal of life through the Holy Spirit (sanctification) was a quite distinct and even separate git. In conse= 4uenee, the proper relation and proportion be- tween these two aspoots of salvation fas nol always been maintained 3. Catholic Interpretation. In Catholic theology, Justification is not by “faith alone’, but by ‘faith Turnished with love" fides earitate formata). (This is understandable in the light of the Catholic definition of faith (see Faith (1). The Reforiers ‘themselves denied thata man could be justified by that sort of faith ‘alone”,) Faith, however, is the beginning, foundation and root ofall justificwtion’ (Trent, Ses5.vi,cap.vii.); and to the act of faith @ ‘mau is led and dray by the grace of God. That is to say, he is enabled to believe what bas been divinely revealed, particularly the doctrines of redemption and the forgiveness of sins, and thus believing to hope in God and to love’ him, and hhenee to turn his heart in ponitence away from sin. He is then ready for the gift of sanctifying save (see Grace [2]). whereby his sin is not only 184, 4 fh oF 10 ble tom. adits ns soe eoatonsy wt so ony in ona tendo netic sh ego HUT gmpe tls wee teas and tu acspinc ae Cale bas of Gas rae th isto conto hat eg inns ce aceon ‘re Faith sour acepanee d"vecptane of tr whet Sones and Eeep ha lene is not mean to exude all ‘or although Luther, Tor ee hat ith alone juts, wh anallest works yet fie hearty tha Flt without works Hence he sronaly attacks two of sole fie irs, there ce of ith as an inward dispose eat on account of whch their sins and teat them as 1 glct or ven elas sec be found! aamely, i the on «, the wo and seeranonts oF in fleet turing eth ints Usspaing the works of God ‘ce tho nefleet of oven rej sas the necessary fet of SSE these, Lather inns thet nu of eeneruton to neyness, Since it eens eotring into trust and obedience towacds D.
