JUSTIFICATION

SATURDAY, 16TH JULY, 2022

Topic: JUSTIFICATION 

MEMORIZE: “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28 

SCRIPTURE READING: Romans 3:23-28.

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law." 

EXPOSITION

Justification and righteousness are inseparably united in Scripture by the fact that the same word (Greek, "dikaios", means "righteous"; Greek, "dikaioo", means "to justify") is used for both. The believing sinner is justified because Christ, having borne his sins on the cross, has been "made unto him righteousness" (1Cor. 1:30). 

God’s righteousness, is God's consistency with His own law and holiness in freely justifying a sinner who believes in Christ; that is, one in whose behalf Christ has met every demand of the law (Romans 10:4).

Justification originates in grace; (Rom 3:24; Tit 3:4; Tit 3:5) is through the redemptive and propitiatory work of Christ, who has vindicated the law; (Rom 3:24; Rom 3:25; Rom 5:9) is by faith, not works; (Rom. 3:28-30; Rom. 4:5; Rom. 5:1; Gal. 2:16; Gal. 3:8; Gal 3:24) and may be defined as the judicial act of God whereby He justly declares righteous one who believes on Jesus Christ. It is the Judge Himself (Rom 8:31-34) who thus declares. The justified believer has been in court, only to learn that nothing is laid to his charge. (Rom 8:1; Rom 8:33; Rom 8:34). Hallelujah!!!!!!!! We are no longer under condemnation of sin, flesh and satan, we are free indeed though the redemptive work of Christ. We must therefore walk in reality of this through our faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

ACTION POINT: 

Justification comes only by faith in Jesus Christ. This becomes the point of our gospel message to the sinners. Tell others about the justification power of the gospel.
