God’s Thoughts Concerning Justification

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. - Psalms 119:89

    Following are God’s thoughts concerning substitution and justification. This is the context of all Scriptures. This is the good news from God to his people whom he has chosen in Christ before the world was. All who know him and preach his Gospel wholeheartedly agree.

    •For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor 5:21).

    •Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree (Gal 3:13).

    •Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (1 Pt 2:24).

    •Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand (Is 53:10).

    •Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him (Rom 5:9).

    •But This Man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God (Heb 10:12).

    •Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified (Gal 2:16).

    •That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Ti 3:7).
