Justification from God is, Just As If You’d Never Sinned, Justice Must be Satisfied
We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore we are justified, acquitted, declared righteous, by faith. It is necessary to grasp the fact that we have peace because of Jesus. Jesus became the go between, between God and mankind. He is the mediator before God concerning us (Our Defense Lawyer because of sin). Since Jesus walked in our shoes, having to believe God the same way we do when trouble hits, or crisis comes. Jesus learned obedience through the things He suffered (Hebrews 5:8), and so must we. We learn how to have peace during bad times, yes it is possible, but like anything else of great value, it costs. The peace of God that passes all understanding is available to all who will walk the walk to obtain it. We have been justified by faith so the righteousness we have is not of ourselves. Self righteousness is useless, and will send you to hell if left unchecked. For us to be justified after being born into sin from birth, was a mighty accomplishment by the Lord. Our human spirits become dead to God after the age of accountability (between maybe age 9 through 11). After that time period, best to get saved immediately! To be justified could stand for; Just As If I’d Never Sinned. This is where the born again christian’s reality stands with God today.
