This paragraph relates justification to the decree of God, can your remind our listeners what the decree of God is? What is meant by the expression “fullness of time”? Why is justification connected to the resurrection of Christ? What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to “apply” Christ to us? What is eternal justification and why is it a dangerous belief? Tune in as Nathan, Joel, Shawn, and Kyle discuss WCF 11.4:
God did, from all eternity, decree to justify all the elect, and Christ did, in the fullness of time, die for their sins, and rise again for their justification: nevertheless, they are not justified, until the Holy Spirit does, in due time, actually apply Christ unto them.
