08-What Is the Hyper-Calvinistic View of Justifying Faith?

What do hyper-Calvinists understand by ‘justification by faith’?1 In
particular, what do they think is going on when a sinner exercises
justifying faith?2
Before I answer that, let us remind ourselves of some of the
ground we have covered. Let us remind ourselves of what Gill said
about justification. I summarise here – the extracts may be found at
the appropriate places throughout this present work. For Gill,
election and justification are, for all practical purposes, one and the
same. God has decreed to justify his elect, and that decree, that will,
comprises the whole essence of justification. God’s will to justify
his elect is their justification. So said Gill.
