Quote – N.T. Wright on the definition word Justification

[Justification] has regularly been made to do duty for the entire picture of God’s reconciling action towards the human race, covering everything from God’s free love and grace, through the sending of the son to die and rise again for sinners, through the preaching of the gospel, the work of the spirit, the arousal of faith in human hearts and minds, the development of Christian character and conduct, the assurance of ultimate salvation, and the safe passage through final judgment to that destination. p65
