Our Justification

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.” Romans 8v33 (KJV)

“Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one – for God Himself has given us right standing with Himself.” Romans 8v33 (NLT)

God loves us so very much. The Bible tells us that even while we were sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5v8). It is God that justifies us, He is the Judge of all the earth, and He has made us right with Himself, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. If He says you are fine, who dares accuse you? On the other hand, you cannot justify your own self – not by works, or good deeds, or any other means. Indeed Isaiah 64v6 (NLT) says “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind”. However, 2 Corinthians 5v17 (KJV) tells us “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Hallelujah.  We thank God for being our Justifier, for bringing us into right relationship with Him, and no one can come forward and accuse us and impeach us, for it is God who justifies us. The devil (who is the accuser of the brethren) may try, others may try, your past may try, you may try, but remember, “THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit” (Romans 8v1, AMP).

  

Prayer

Lord God Almighty, we thank You for justifying us. Thank You Jesus for dying for us. Thank You Father for confirming us with Your Holy Spirit. All glory, honor, power, belong to You in Jesus name, amen.
