Read in Logos
Luke 18:13–14: But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‛God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other…

Footnotes

  1. •The act of God as judge that declares sinners (who were in the wrong) to be right or righteous in His sight. God is just in doing this because Jesus died on the cross to take away their sins and to give them His own righteousness (2Co 5:21). The sinner receives this justification by faith and by grace when he trusts Christ's work.
