Right With God: The Doctrine of Justification

Given all that Christ has done for us in salvation, what is our position now before God? How can we be right before Him?
The doctrine of justification says that you, by faith and through Christ, have been declared legally righteous.

TWO POINTS

1. Man's great problem is his standing before God.
   
Why do we need justification? 
(Job 9:2; Matt 5:17, 19, 20; Philippians 3:4-9)

2. Man's only solution is the righteousness of Christ.
 (Romans 4:2-8, 21)

NOTE: This is the sixth sermon in a series titled So Great a Salvation.
