04-Justification

Of course, theologians, both covenant and new-covenant, hold
that justification is entirely by faith in the person and the finished
work of Christ on the basis of grace. Christ was born, and he
lived, suffered and died under the law, and the sinner who
believes receives the Redeemer’s imputed righteousness.
Nevertheless, it is only new-covenant theologians who lay the full
and proper, scriptural emphasis upon the freeness of the
believer’s justification and perfect positional sanctification in
Christ. And this emphasis leaves them open to the false charge of
antinomianism. But unless a man does leave himself open to such
a charge, he is not preaching the gospel in the scriptural way.
