Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be ‘justified’ (Rom. 3:20 )?

The Gospel of Salvation - Justification::Michael Hardt
Justified means ‘declared righteous’. This is even better than innocent. If you are justified you can point to Christ at God’s right hand and say ‘I belong to Him, that’s why I’m righteous’. Innocent Adam could not do this. So, if someone wanted to condemn you as guilty, he would first have to condemn Christ as unrighteous – and this is impossible.

What is meant by ‘works of the law’ (Rom. 3:20)?

The Gospel of Salvation - Justification::Michael Hardt
Works of the law are not only works aimed at keeping the law of Moses but works aiming at keeping any kind of law (literally: ‘works of law’). The people of Israel proved this in the case of the law of Moses. But it is a general principle. There are no works, there is nothing that man can do, which would make him just or righteous before God.

What is the "Works of the Law" (Rom 3:20) Paul refers to in his writings?

The Works of the Law is a book. It was the Miqsat Ma'ase ha Torah. In Greek, this was rendered "ergon nomou" and in English it is "Works of the Law." It was lost for 1900 years. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained a copy. That copy was translated by professors Qimron and Strugnell. A paper has been written on its significance for NT exegesis. The paper is The Works of the Law Text - or MMT (No. 104). The original text and the translations are also available from CCG.
