A Brief Discourse of Justification

A clear and pastoral exposition of justification by faith drawn from Philippians 3:9, preached by Boston Puritan Samuel Willard in 1686. Willard demonstrates why personal righteousness cannot justify the sinner before God, then unfolds the sufficiency of Christ's active and passive obedience, the mechanics of imputation, and the instrumental role of faith. The sermons close with searching applications to the unconverted and rich consolations for believers resting in Christ's perfect righteousness.
