Message 8: The Judicial Aspect of God’s Complete Salvation
III. The judicial aspect of God’s complete salvation is the eternal redemption accomplished by Christ to solve man’s objective problem before God; this aspect includes five items
C. Justification—Rom. 3:23–26
Romans 3:23–26 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 Whom God set forth as a propitiation place through faith in His blood, for the demonstrating of His righteousness, in that in His forbearance God passed over the sins that had previously occurred, 26 With a view to the demonstrating of His righteousness in the present time, so that He might be righteous and the One who justifies him who is of the faith of Jesus.
1. The meaning—God’s action in approving people according to His standard of righteousness
2. Based upon Christ’s redemption and through our faith—Rom. 8:33–34; Eph. 2:8
Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Rom. 8:33–34 Who shall bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus who died and, rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Read over the outline points and verses above and use these for your prayer to spend time with the Lord in the Word in the morning. After your prayer time, jot down in your notebook one or two things that the Lord touched you with.
