Page "Arminianism" Paragraph 24

* Jesus's death satisfies God's justice: The penalty for the sins of the elect is paid in full through Jesus's work on the cross.

Thus Christ's atonement is intended for all, but requires faith to be effected.

Arminius states that " Justification, when used for the act of a Judge, is either purely the imputation of righteousness through mercy … or that man is justified before God … according to the rigor of justice without any forgiveness.

" Stephen Ashby clarifies: " Arminius allowed for only two possible ways in which the sinner might be justified: ( 1 ) by our absolute and perfect adherence to the law, or ( 2 ) purely by God's imputation of Christ's righteousness.
