All agree that justification is of God, but not all agree on the precise significance of justification. In this lecture it is our business to contend for the position that justification is God's declaring a person just, not God's making a person just. In fact, the person who is justified is, in himself, full of rottenness and repugnant to true holiness.
Justification is thoroughly and completely objective.
The meaning is the same as the first instance but for a totally different reason. You cannot make God glorious, because He is glorious. To glorify God is an act based upon a perfect glory, not an act which produces glory in God. The first place to turn is the Scriptures. Christ is declared to be righteous, not made righteous.
