| THE GRANDEST GRACE |
|
| |
3:23 since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 3:24 they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
The instant you received Jesus as your Savior, you entered a new standing
with God. The Epistle to the Romans repeatedly uses the word "justified" to
describe this action. It's a giant of a concept---a word meaning that God,
the Judge of all mankind, has made a legal judgment about you and me. When
we trust in Christ, He not only declares us holy, He also gives His legal
reasons for doing so. Because we are putting our trust in the righteousness
of Christ instead of our own achievement, God puts the sinless record of His
Son as a credit to our account.
He not only removes the record of our guilt, He enters the record of
Christ's absolute sinlessness!
It's astounding and amazing!
