23
Q

Infused Righteousness

A

Jesus’ righteousness infused bit by bit to you throughout your life. Salvation can be discussed by degree

24
Q

Purgatory

A

Intermediate between earth and heave where most Christians receive cleansing after death (because not enough righteousness was infused to them during life)

25
Q

Indulgences

A

Certain individuals in the church procured surplus righteousness, so objects connected to them could be sold to earn more righteousness to avoid (some portion of time in) Purgatory

26
Q

Tetzel

A

Seller of indulgences, proponent of purgatory, feasting on the fears of the people. Specifically targeted the poor

27
Q

Martin Luther

A

Catholic monk, academic, lecturer. Studied Romans and came to disagree with infused righteousness. Saw righteousness as a gift. Translated the Bible into German to bring it to the people.

28
Q

Imputed Righteousness

A

Jesus’ righteousness is attributed to us though it didn’t belong to us, a once and for all giving over, where God declares us righteous as a free gift.

29
Q

Active Obedience

A

Obedience of Jesus by what he actively did in his life

30
Q

Passive Obedience

A

Obedience of Jesus by what he allowed to happen to him in his death

31
Q

The Great Exchange

A

Christ’s obedience becomes our obedience and he takes and defeats our sin and guilt

32
Q

The Five Solas

A

Salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone read in Scripture alone for God’s glory alone

33
Q

Adoption

A

God brings those he saves into the closeness of sonship with him and into his presence. He gives us his name. We have Jesus’ relationship to the Father by union with Christ

34
Q

Sanctification

A

To set apart, to make holy

35
Q

Definitive Sanctification

A

Once and for all set apart (election, justification, union… these are past and done)

36
Q

Progressive Sanctification

A

Becoming more sanctified or righteous

37
Q

Simul Justus et Peccator

A

Simultaneously just yet a sinner - the already/not yet of living the Christian life

38
Q

Three Tense Sanctification - Three motivations for sanctification

A

Past - remember the Gospel. Present - spiritual disciplines. Future - promises of God

39
Q

Legalism

A

Much of the law, little of grace; sanctification swallows justification

40
Q

Antinomianism

A

Against the law - no more imperatives because Christ fulfilled the law for us. Justification swallows sanctification

41
Q

Preservation

A

The work the Creator does to keep the believer in the faith

42
Q

Perseverance

A

The work of the creature to keep in the faith

43
Q

Apostasy

A

A truly regenerate believer falling away

44
Q

Seven Reasons Apostasy is Impossible

A

Doctrine of election; Trinity and inseparable operations; the golden chain of redemption (Rom. 8); Christ’s intercession for believers is efficacious; the Spirit is your guarantee; The perfect work of Jesus; union with Christ

45
Q

Means of Grace

A

The beautiful things God gives us to keep us in the faith (such as sitting under preaching). Warning passages are a means of grace

46
Q

Glorification

A

All of the good so far is just the beginning - heaven will be infinitely better; We have to confess a physical and literal resurrection; No time between death and being with the Lord; All things will be made new (not recreated) at the end; We long most of all for the Giver himself in all that we long for in heaven

47
Q

Union with Christ

A

God makes us one with Christ so that what is his becomes ours. God is not tricked, but in a sense he looks at us and sees Christ - his beauty and his righteousness

48
Q

Atonement

A

What happens when Christ is crucified

49
Q

Christus Victor/Ransom Theory

A

The view of the early church - because of sin, humans fell under Satan’s dominion, so God ransoms them by Christ. God “tricks” Satan by conquering death and him through the resurrection

50
Q

Moral Influence Theory

A

Nothing happened objectively in the Crucifixion; nothing was demanded by God for reconciliation, but the barrier was on the creature side - ignorance/pride. But God’s love on the cross breaks through to our hard hearts to get our act together by moral example

51
Q

Satisfaction Theory

A

Primary issue is the offense - God’s honor is offended by sin. Therefore, God uses an infinite redeemer to satisfy an infinite offense

52
Q

Governmental Theory

A

Primarily concerned with justice - the law was violated and justice must be upheld, so the crucifixion satisfies justice and deters sinners who come to him from further sin & injustice

53
Q

Penal Substitution Theory

A

Jesus acted as a substitute for the penalty of sinners - he took the punishment. Most accurately describes the gospel (though something can be redeemed from each of the other theories)

54
Q

Propitiation

A

A removal of God’s wrath

55
Q

Expiation

A

A removal of sin
