Justification refers to the process by which sinful human beings are made acceptable to God. Christianity is unique because of its teaching of justification by grace.

Both Jews and pagan sinned and forfeited God's glory and both are justified through the free gift of his grace by being redeemed in Christ Jesus who was appointed by God to sacrifice his life as to win reconciliation through faith. In this way God makes his justice known; first, for the past when sins went unpunished because he held his hand then for the present age by showing positively that he is just and that he justifies everyone who believes in Jesus. Rom. 3:24-26 -

Justification is God's declaration that the demands of His Law have been fulfilled in the righteousness of His Son. The basis for this justification is the death of Christ. Saint Paul's tell us that 'God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them'. This reconciliation covers all sins. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Justification then is based on the work of Christ, accomplished through His blood and brought to His people through His resurrection.

When God justifies He charges the sin of man to Christ and credits the righteousness of Christ to the believers. Thus, "through one Man's righteous act, the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

By virtue of that one single offering he has achieved the eternal perfection of all whom he is sanctifying. - Heb. 10:14 -

And for anyone who is in Christ there is a new creation; the old creation has gone and now the new one is here. It is all God's work. It was God who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the work of handing on this reconciliation. In other words, God in Christ was reconciling the world to himself, not holding men faults against them and he has entrusted to us the news that they are reconciled. - 2Cor. 5:17-19 -

God's justice that was made known through the Law and the Prophets has now been revealed outside the Law since it is the same justice of God that comes through faith to everyone, Jew and pagan alike who believes in Jesus Christ. - Rom. 3:21-22 - 5:15-16, 18-19 -

Through him justification from all sins which the Law of Moses was unable to justify is offered to every believer.

So be careful - or what the prophets say will happen to you, - Acts 13:39-40 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
