as Just or righteous one who is not personally worthy of 
such treatment. In this sense It is nearly equivalent to 
the forgiveness of sins. 
Justification ... is not remission of sins merely, but 
also the sanctiflcation and renewal of the inner man, 
through the voluntary reception of the grace, and of the 
gifts, whereby man of unjust becomes Just, and of an en- 
emy a friend, that so he may be an heir according to hope 
of life everlasting. 
Canons and Decrees of tlte Council of Trent, quoted in 
ISchatf's "Creeds of Christendom," II. 95. 
Justification is thus a forensic term ; it is equivalent to 
the remission of sins. To Justify signifies not to make 
the offender righteous, but to treat him as if he were right- 
eous, to deliver him from the accusation of the law by the 
bestowal of a pardon.
