Romans 8:30 - Them He Also Justified - David L Antion - July 1976

David L Antion

And whom he called, them he also justified..." (Rom. 8:30). Justification is an important and major New Testament doctrine. It is especially propounded (and used in almost a unique way) by the apostle Paul; more is said about justification in his epistles than in any other part of the New Testament. But "justification" is a difficult concept for many to understand. Part of the problem is that the English word "justify" conjures up a meaning in people's minds different from that intended in the original Greek of the New Testament. Also, over the centuries, the English word has taken on a different meaning in English than it originally had in the 1600's when the King James translation was made. In the World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, the word "justify" has as its first meaning, "to show to be just or right; give a good reason for." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
