There are few doctrines as important for Christians to understand as justification. So significant is it that Martin Luther referred to it as “the principal article of all Christian doctrine.”¹ He even went so far as to say, “If the article of justification be once lost, then is all true Christian doctrine lost.”² In other words, justification is a main thing, and it is a plain thing.

Yet many, even in Christian circles, may hear a question like that and say, along with Nicodemus, “Born again! … What do you mean?” (John 3:4, TLB). In the popular understanding of these words, there is a great deal that is misunderstood, and the resulting confusion can be a barrier to faith.

What is the purpose of spiritual gifts? The New Testament shows they are given to strengthen the church and are a picture of divine unity in the body of Christ. In light of this, it should grieve us when they become a point of division in our fellowships. Yet there are few areas of biblical doctrine that are more prone to produce mistrust and judgment among us than this one.
