The Relationship Between Justification and Spiritual Fruit in Romans 5–8

0
In Themelios there is an interesting article on 'The Relationship Between Justification and Spiritual Fruit in Romans 5–8'.

Here's a short extract

"While all would acknowledge that justification should affect one’s production of spiritual fruit, not all would agree that it necessarily will affect it. This revelation may come as a surprise to some, but it is a reality nonetheless. On the one hand, some would argue that the justified sinner may possibly or potentially live righteously. Bible teachers supporting this perspective include those of Wesleyan, Keswick, Pentecostal, and Chaferian persuasion. On the other hand, several (typically from a Reformed viewpoint) suggest that the justified sinner will certainly or necessarily give evidence of an obedient lifestyle."
