Simul Iustus et Peccator T-Shirt

Average rating: (3 customers review(s))

This shirt bears one of Dr. Martin Luther's most well-known phrases, "Simul Iustus et Peccator" or "At Once Justified and Sinner" (also commonly translated as "Simultaneously Sinner and Saint").

Being baptized into Christ's death and resurrection, the sinner is declared blameless, Jesus' righteousness being imputed to the sinner's account for Jesus' sake. This concept of justification is the core of the Gospel rediscovered in the Reformation of the 16th century.

In a time when there is an increasing push for Christians to please God with their own works, this shirt helps push back in the understanding that Christians remain sinners, even in faith, and continue to need the perfect works of Jesus imputed to them since all our works will always be as "filthy rags" to God. The only thing that we have to offer to our salvation is our sin.

But in Christ, you can remain confident that God sees Christ's merit in your stead.

Wear this simple, yet powerful, message and spread the good news of the Gospel.
