AM Philippines Holds Bible Study on the Doctrine of Justification

On August, 6, 2026, AM Philippines held a Bible study at Manila Immanuel Church centered on the doctrine of justification. Through the study, participants examined the heart of the gospel: humanity stands guilty because of sin, yet God graciously declares sinners righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.

The gathering guided participants through the biblical truth that salvation cannot be earned through human effort or obedience to the law. Instead, it is God’s gift of grace, made possible through the finished work of Christ and received by faith alone.

The study emphasized that the gospel is the power of God for salvation and reveals God’s righteousness to everyone who believes. Participants learned that before understanding justification, they must first recognize humanity’s sinful condition. Although God has revealed Himself through creation, mankind rejected His truth, exchanged His glory for idols, and continued in rebellion. As a result, all people stand guilty before a holy God because of sin.

The lesson further explained that justification is God’s righteous declaration that believing sinners are made righteous through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Through Christ, believers receive forgiveness, are declared righteous before God, and enjoy a restored relationship with Him.

The Bible study concluded by encouraging participants to place their complete trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and to live with gratitude for God’s amazing grace. The gathering served as a meaningful opportunity for spiritual growth, biblical learning, and a renewed appreciation of the gospel’s transforming power.
