About Justification: The Make-or-Break Doctrine

Whether or not Martin Luther actually said, in precise terms, that ‘justification is the article by which the church stands and falls’, David Gay is convinced that the sentiment is right. And because of that, and because justification by faith alone on the basis of God’s grace is under attack today, an attack which is both heavy and insidious, he publishes this booklet. Yes, justification by faith is the make-or-break doctrine. For most evangelicals and Reformed believers this is a truism. And herein lies the danger. Apparent familiarity breeds, if not contempt, something akin to venerable neglect. As Gay sees it, many, locking the doctrine of justification in a Confession, seem to treat it as little more than a prime exhibit, a treasured heirloom sitting quietly in a museum, something to be gawked at through a glass screen, or wheeled out on appropriate Reformed-anniversaries, but little more. Let out the glorious truth and set it to work is Gay’s theme. Justification by faith alone on the basis of God’s grace needs to be better understood. More, it needs to be preached far more than it is, and preached with power and passion.
