Reformed consensus: justifying faith specially applies the Gospel — schools differ how

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Common Reformed consent: justifying faith specially applies the general Gospel word and grace-promises to each believer.

Schools differ on what “application” means.

Many reduce it to the judgment that Gospel goods are peculiarly mine, and that I am and will be partaker of them.

So du Moulin, Ursinus, Paraeus, and Tilenus.

Latin

LXXIV. Porro ex iis quae fuerunt hactenus a nobis exposita facile videre est, ex communi quidem Reformatorum consensu, ad naturam fidei justificantis pertinere, ut generale Verbum Evangelii, & promissiones gratiae credenti cuique speciatim applicet. Sed tamen non omnes Scholae Reformatae Doctores applicationem istam eodem modo exponere & intelligere. Nam eorum multi sic loquuntur quasi per applicationem istam non aliud intelligerent, quam judicium illud quo fidelis statuit bona per Evangelium promissa & oblata peculiariter ad se pertinere, seque bonorum illorum & esse & fore compotem: Ut exempli gratia celeberrimus Petrus Molinaeus, Ursinus, Paraeus, & Daniel Tilenus.
