Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24).

In Romans 4:24-25, the Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Justification means acquittal, to be declared not guilty. How did this happen?
First, when Jesus died and was buried, in the mind of justice, we died and were buried with Him.

In Romans 4:24-25, the Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Justification means acquittal, to be declared not guilty. How did this happen?
First, when Jesus died and was buried, in the mind of justice, we died and were buried with Him.
When He was raised back to life, we were raised together with Him, a new creation. It happened at the same instance that God said of Him, "... Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee" (Psalm 2:7).
Jesus was born again when He was raised from the dead. That's where we the Church-came from. We came from the resurrection, not from the Cross.
Jesus was born again when He was raised from the dead. That's where we the Church-came from. We came from the resurrection, not from the Cross.
In the mind of God, when Jesus resurrected, you resurrected, you were born a new creature because you were in Him.
2. Corinthians 5:17, says, "...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
2. Corinthians 5:17, says, "...If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Now that you're born again, you're without a past. The question then is, what happened to your past? It died with Jesus, because when Jesus died, the whole world died in Him.
So, by His resurrection, all men should have a new life. Hallelujah!
That's why when you were born again, you were born justified. The Bible says, "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24).
That's why when you were born again, you were born justified. The Bible says, "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24).
The word "freely" is translated from the Greek "dõrean," meaning 'without cause." To be justified is also to be declared righteous.
This means you were justified, declared righteous without cause; you didn't have to do something about it to make it happen.
This means you were justified, declared righteous without cause; you didn't have to do something about it to make it happen.
It was by His grace; you were born that way. Now He says, "... as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:4). Blessed be God!

Dear Father, I thank you for the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus which ushered me into a newness of life. Now I'm a new creature in Christ Jesus, born anew, and justified by your grace, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of the Lord. Amen.

Galatians 2:16; 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.
Romans 4:23-25; Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
[24] but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
[25] who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Acts 13:38-39; Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
[39] and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

*EXPRESS GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS*
(Keep Displaying His Righteous Nature In You)
📖TO THE BIBLE 1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.”
LET’S TALK⏩
Righteousness is the nature of God in you, producing in you the rightness of God: the ability to do right and fulfil the will of the Father.
God is always right; it’s His nature to be right. This nature of righteousness is at work in us.
So in our kingdom, we do righteousness; we walk in righteousness and do works of righteousness; we manifest the goodness of God to the world.
It was for the same reason that the Pharisees and Sadducees had a problem with the good works that Jesus did; they misunderstood Him.
If, at school, for example, you did something you thought was good and required commendation but instead found yourself being persecuted for your good works, don’t feel bad about it.
Just because you’re good and doing the right thing doesn’t mean everybody is going to be cheering you on.
Just because you’re good and doing the right thing doesn’t mean everybody is going to be cheering you on.
There might be those who’ll resist you and try to make you swerve from your path; they might even call you evil in spite of your good works. Maintain your composure.
Refuse to change. Stay on course with the Word of God in your heart and in your mouth.
Remember, you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; therefore, it’s your calling to express His righteousness.
Remember, you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; therefore, it’s your calling to express His righteousness.
See yourself that way, regardless of the pressures and challenges that may tend to provoke you to compromise.
See yourself just as the Word says: “...Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4); this means that you’re greater than your adversaries, detractors, and persecutors.
You’re a victor forever. Stay in the Word and keep manifesting His righteousness, no matter the criticism, and you’ll always win. Hallelujah!
📚Go Deeper:
Isaiah 54:17; 2 Corinthians 5:21
🔊Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a victor for life and granting me the grace to reign in life, and I live for your glory. Righteousness and goodness are the hallmarks of my life; therefore, I express righteousness and walk in your perfect will today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
