The Doctrine of Adoption explains how God has adopted us back into being His sons and daughters.– Eph. 1:5– Gal. 3:23- 4:7– Rom. 8:15-17– Rom. 9:4

Adoption

God has a right to judge based on his absolute wisdom

Justification

God establishes the standard and power to enforce the standard

Justification

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:- Romans 2:5-6

to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.- Romans 2:7-8

The Doctrine of Justification is explained assuming a system of absolute right and wrong.

No Standard No Judgment No Salvation

Justification

One of man’s greatest needs is to be Approved / Acceptable /

Justified before God

Justification

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.- Romans 1:18-19

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.- Romans 1:20

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools,- Romans 1:21-22

and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

- Romans 1:23

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want.- Romans 7:18-19

What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written,“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;”- Romans 3:9-10

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

- Romans 3:23

1. Ignorance = condemnation

2. Knowledge = helplessness
