Quote:
God in His mercy sent a Justifier, One who would become guilty in our stead so that our innocence could be declared. And so that, as in the court of law we would be absolved of sin. Accepting that Jesus took our punishment makes us innocent.


:Amen

We are all sinners

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

So then how is one justified?

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

We are Justified and Redemed freely by Jesus Christ.

Quote:
Rom 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.


:Amen

One of the modern errors of today is to identify justification with pardon. Justification is more than pardon; to justify means to declare righteous. God's problem in redeeming man was to justify the sinner without condoning or justifying his sin. God could not compromise in judgment and treat sin lightly.Law and justice demanded the death penalty for every sin.
Quote:
Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

So we see the mercy of God yearned to rescue the offender in the interests of LOVE.

So how does god solve this problem? Jesus volunteered to live the perfect life according to the law, gain the righteousness and then give it as a free gift to the believing.
:Amen

My Fiath is in Jesus Christ and Him alone...
