“ “Jesus’ sinless life is only an example of faithfulness for His people to follow.

Christians are justified by faith and faithfulness (i.e. perseverance in personal obedience).

Faith and obedience are necessary to obtain final justification. Faith is introspective. It is divided between Christ and the believer’s faithfulness. Obedience is a co-instrument of justification

Good works or covenantal faithfulness has an important role to play in a believer’s final justification.

Justification refers only to the pardon of sins and not the imputation of Jesus’ active [or preceptive] obedience. Pardon is supplemented by covenant faithfulness which results in final justification.

Sanctification if faithfully continued leads to final justification. The process which leads to justification is synergistic.

The covenant of grace includes conditions. One condition is faithful obedience or good works. The personal righteousness, obedience or good works of believers has salvific “value” (i.e. merit) before God.”
