70问：何谓称义？

答：称义是上帝对罪人所赐白白恩典的作为（罗3:22，24-25；4:5），包括赦免他们所有的罪、接纳他们、视他们为义人（林后5:19，21；罗3:22，24-25，27-28）。上帝将这恩典加在他们的身上（罗5:17-19；罗4:6-8），并不因为他们有所成就或有所作为（多3:5，7；弗1:7），而只是由于基督完全的顺服和充分的补偿，使他们可以单单凭着信心领受（徒10:43；加2:16；腓3:9）。

Question 70: What is justification?

Answer: Justification is an act of God’s free grace unto sinners, in which he pardons all their sins, accepts and accounts their persons righteous in his sight; not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but only for the perfect obedience and full satisfaction of Christ, by God imputed to them, and received by faith alone.
