I. Justification
1994
Justification is the most excellent work of God’s love made manifest in Christ
Jesus and granted by the Holy Spirit. It is the opinion of St. Augustine that
“the justification of the wicked is a greater work than the creation of
heaven and earth,” because “heaven and earth will pass away but the
salvation and justification of the elect . . . will not pass
away.”43 He holds also that the justification of sinners surpasses
the creation of the angels in justice, in that it bears witness to a greater
mercy.
