“…who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised because of our justification…”- Romans 4:25 (NKJV)
Having pointed out in the first part of this article, that we have been justified because our Lord Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Someone might say but sir, after all that I have done, am I still justified? Well, the answer is yes, you are justified because you are now a Christian. The reason is because, God does not measure Justification based on what you do or have done, but rather what Jesus Christ has done. Remember, His death, burial and resurrection was a sacrifice that lasts forever. He was an innocent man who was judged and sentenced for a crime He did not commit. He was crucified and buried for three days, but after three days the Father raised him back to life and through His resurrection, the Father says you whom He died for, is justified. Praise God!
To be justified means, all legal charges brought against you have been dropped; you are free of every guilt and penalty, and now you are declared righteous before God, Halleluiah! So as you go about your daily routine, live each day of your life, convinced that Jesus Christ was raised for your justification. Do not struggle with it, just accept it as it is and you will be amazed where your life will be at the end of the day. Stop holding on to the mistakes of the past and do not keep condemning yourself because that condemnation was charged to the account of Jesus. God no longer condemn you, so refuse to condemn yourself. Lay hold of the justification that has been made available to you in Christ Jesus, walk conscious of the nature of righteousness that you now have and grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God!
