Episode notes
Osiander’s Alternative Justification Theory
- Andreas Osiander argued justification is based on Christ dwelling in the believer, making God's declaration 'analytic' rather than forensic.
- Carl Fredrik Wisløff shows this diverged sharply from Lutheran forensic justification and threatened assurance of salvation.
Risk To Assurance From Identity-Based Righteousness
- Wisløff warns Osiander's view blurred the line between being declared righteous and being made righteous.
- He explains that this confusion risked undermining believers' assurance when they feel only sin and no renewal.
Double Obedience In Justification Debates
- Theologians debated Christ's double obedience: passive (atonement) and active (obedience fulfilling law for us).
- Wisløff shows disputes over whether Christ's active obedience accrues to believers' status and legal standing.
