Question 113 — Of the Effects of Grace

We have now to consider the effect of grace; (1) the justification of the ungodly, which is the effect of operating grace; and (2) merit, which is the effect of cooperating grace. Under the first head there are ten points of inquiry:

(1) What is the justification of the ungodly?

• (2) Whether grace is required for it?
• (3) Whether any movement of the free-will is required?
• (4) Whether a movement of faith is required?
• (5) Whether a movement of the free-will against sin is required?
• (6) Whether the remission of sins is to be reckoned with the foregoing?
• (7) Whether the justification of the ungodly is a work of time or is sudden?
• (8) Of the natural order of the things concurring to justification;
• (9) Whether the justification of the ungodly is God’s greatest work?
• (10) Whether the justification of the ungodly is miraculous?
