description Universal legal justification attempts to provide a third alternative to the Reformed-Arminian debate over the nature and extent of salvation. This article summarizes some of the most important arguments used by the proponents of universal legal justification to support their theology and provides an evaluation of its view, demonstrating that it does not really provide a third alternative to Arminianism and Calvinism. Further, assuming universal legal justification implies that there is hardly any room left for Christ’s work of mediation before the Father in heaven. Finally, universal legal justification’s interpretation of the Pauline phrases “in Adam” and “in Christ,” as well as its understanding of substitution in connection with the use of the "in Christ"motif, is problematic.

La justificación legal universal intenta proporcionar una tercera alternativa al debate reformado-arminiano sobre la naturaleza y el alcance de la salvación. Este artículo resume algunos de los argumentos más importantes utilizados por los defensores de la justificación legal universal para apoyar su teología y proporciona una evaluación de su punto de vista, demostrando que en realidad no ofrece una tercera alternativa al arminianismo y al calvinismo. Además, asumir la justificación legal universal implica que casi no queda lugar para la obra de mediación de Cristo ante el Padre en el cielo. Finalmente, la interpretación de la justificación legal universal de las frases paulinas “en Adán” y “en Cristo”, así como su comprensión de la sustitución en relación con el uso del motivo “en Cristo”, es problemática.
