What is justification? - Encouraging short sermons and devotionals compiled by The Commandment Co

What is justification? It’s translated from the Greek word “dikaiosis”, which was a word typically used in a court setting where someone is declared not guilty and they are ‘justified’. Whereas if the judge declares them guilty, they are condemned. When we read about justification in the New Testament, it refers to how we are declared not guilty by God even though we have sinned.

JUSTIFICATION IS THE GRACIOUS ACT OF GOD WHERE HE DECLARES BELIEVERS NOT GUILTY, BUT IN RIGHT STANDING WITH HIM BECAUSE OF JESUS. - Encouraging short sermons and devotionals compiled by The Commandment Co

The Bible says many times that we have all sinned and been separated form God. God is perfect, while we’ve been tainted by sin. But because of God’s great love for us, He sent Jesus to take our sins upon Himself (as His own) and pay the price for our sin. Through this act of love, we are now made right with God.

But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life. - Titus 3:4-7 - Encouraging short sermons and devotionals compiled by The Commandment Co

God offers us a righteousness and justification separate from any work that we could ever do to earn it. That’s what God offers in His Son for anyone who believes, and today it is a gift from God! Through Jesus you have been justified and made right with God :)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
