Justification by Faith Paul: A Biblical Theological Approach

Abstract

The message of salvation brought by the apostle Paul to the Romans has overcome all differences (Rom. 1:14-15), so that salvation can be obtained by all through the gospel (Rom. 1:16-17). The gospel contains God's saving act through the work of the Son of God who died, was crucified, buried, and rose again. For everyone who believes or believes in Jesus Christ the Son of God, it will obtain salvation through God's act of justification. This study aims to determine the meaning of justification by faith according to Paul. In this study, the author uses qualitative methods to obtain valid thoughts in order to build a theory related to the theme or research subject, while the approach used is biblical theology. The result of this research is that absolute justification can only be obtained based on faith in Jesus Christ. The death of Jesus Christ is a manifestation of God's high (infinite) love for sinners.
