Scrambled Eggs and Justification

Man fell into absolute ruin when he fell into sin (Romans 3:10-18). How then can such a man stand just before God? (Job 9:2) The bible teaches that Christ is our BEDROCK justification whereby we are eternally saved (Romans 8:31-39, Deuteronomy 32:4), that we can experience this in our understanding by faith (Romans 5:1) and that we can show it before a watching world by works (James 2:21ff). We must understand the distinction between BEDROCK justification by Christ, our experience of it by faith, and our exhibition o fit by works to avoid contradiction (John 10:34, II Timothy 2:15).
