WESTMINSTER SHORTER CATECHISM

Question #33-36

What is justification?
Justification is an act of God’s free grace in which he pardons all our sins and accepts us as righteous in his sight for the sake of the righteousness of Christ alone, which is credited to us and received by faith alone.

What is adoption?
Adoption is an act of God’s free grace by which we are received into the number and have a right to all the privileges of the sons of God.

What is sanctification?
Sanctification is the work of God’s free grace by which we are renewed throughout in the image of God and are enabled more and more to die to sin and live to righteousness.

What benefits in this life accompany or flow from justification, adoption and sanctification?
The benefits in this life which accompany or flow from justification, adoption and sanctification are: assurance of God’s love, peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Spirit, progress in holiness, and perseverance in it to this life’s end.

Romans 8:1-17
