Robinson on Justification

R. Andrew Myers

“Calvin, as well as Luther, recognized that the preaching of the Cross was not agreeable to human reason. But, according to His Divine Wisdom, God showed Himself just in justifying the believer, by making Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Justice was satisfied when Love endured the punishment we deserved. Since Christ is the end of the law for justifying righteousness, no one can lay anything to the charge of God’s elect. It is God who justifieth. Clothed in the white and spotless robes of Christ, Jehovah-our-Righteousness, we may our fierce Accuser meet and tell him Christ hath died. By the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, Christian confessors have overcome the Devil. Michael has answered Satan’s accusations against his brethren, and God has manifested His righteousness and shown Himself to be at once a just God and a Saviour. The power of sin has been broken, the sting has been drawn from death, and victory has been snatched from the grave of His people.” — William C. Robinson, Christ the Hope of Glory (1947), pp. 37-38
