According to this teaching, when was justification fully accomplished in Romans 6?
Justification was fully accomplished when Christ died on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Romans 6 enlarges on this finished work, showing that the believer's justification rests on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, not on human effort or later experience.
Les explains that in Romans 6 Paul enlarged on justification, teaching that it was all accomplished when Christ died on that cross, was buried, and rose again. In the surrounding context, Paul had already proved the whole race sinful in the earlier chapters, then laid out justification by faith in chapter 4, and declared in chapter 5 that being justified by faith gives peace with God. Chapter 6 expands on the finished basis of justification in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, before chapter 7 explains Paul's dilemma.
