Substitution

The sum of how God is just to justify is this:

1. He provided the propitiation- Romans 3:21-26.
2. He established the law- Romans 3:27-31.
3. He freely justified & forgave- Romans 4:1-8.
4. He included Gentiles in the faith- Romans 4:9-25
5. He predestined fruit consistent with justification- Rom. 5:1-5.
6. He executed His will by substitution- Romans 5:6-8.
