Simply Lutheran

Martin Chemnitz, the second Martin of the Reformation, wrote an extensive evaluation of the decrees of Trent. Kramer translated his works and Concordia Publishing House published the works in 4 volumes in 1971.

Martin Chemnitz, examined this Canon Law on Justification and wrote, “in the Pauline epistles, especially those to the Romans and to the Galatians, in almost every verse we hear it said that a man is justified by faith, through faith, out of faith; faith is said to be imputed for righteousness. It is called ‘the righteousness by faith’ in Romans 4:11; ‘righteousness through faith’ in Romans 10:6; ‘righteousness in faith,’ or (what is more significant) ‘that depends on faith’ in Philippians 3:9; ‘the righteousness through faith for all who believe’ in Romans 3:22; ‘We have believed in Christ Jesus in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the Law’ in Galatians 2:16.” And then Chemnitz states, “Because these things are most manifest, the papalists cannot deny them. Therefore, they seek various sophistical arguments in order that, although they cannot deny the words that teach justifying faith, they may nevertheless by weird explanations rob the churches of their true and comforting meaning.” (Examination of the Council of Trent, part 1, pp. 552-53.)

BTW As you can see, Martin Chemnitz, like Martin Luther, never said a word concerning any "Universal Objective Justification" prior to or without faith as C.F.W. Walther taught and Modern Missouri Synod now teaches.
