Justified by God — Declared Righteous

by admingp

gravel road, Justified by ChristHave you been justified by God and what does that mean?

We have the weight of sin dragging us down. We are a slave to sin and deserve the penalty of death.

We are all guilty sinners. Left on our own we will be judged and sentenced to what the bible calls the lake of fire, a terrible judgment. where we will face the FULL wrath of God.

Justified by Blood

What a frightening prospect! Yet God in a great demonstration of His love and grace sent His son to the cross in our behalf, so that we could avoid this terrible fate.

God has paid the penalty of sin for us on the cross. Through that action the guilt has been removed from us and we are being declared righteous by Christ’s sacrifice. Justification is a large topic in the Bible and deserves an in-depth study but in its simplest element, it is the sinner being declared righteous through Christ’s atoning blood on the cross.

—Romans 3:24 NKJV “being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,”

Declared Righteous

We can not approach God with our own merits but must trust and  believe in what Christ accomplished for us on the Cross. It is through what Christ accomplished that we are declared righteous.

God justifies and declares righteous the sinner who believes in Jesus Christ. Have you trusted in Christ? Will you accept God’s free gift today?

—Romans 4:5 NKJV “But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,”

—Romans 5:1 NKJV “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”

—Romans 3:26 NKJV “to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”

—2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

What is the hope of the cross?

I know Christ died my death on the cross so that I may have eternal life. But in everyday life what does that mean to a believer. It certainly does not take the bumps out of the road of life.

The truth about Christ's painful death on the cross is that Christ did not come to remove our human sufferings but to show us a way through it to all of the heavenly blessings beyond.

Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,.

He has given us the strength to survive our tribulations until we are called home. His death on the cross is our guarantee!

That is the hope of the cross.
