WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST
part 3- We have been justified!

ROMANS 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. . .

The most amazing thing about the grace of God is that actually see us now as the righteousness of His Son - He can no longer see our past sins that kept us away from His presence- we have been justified by our faith in the finished work of JESUS CHRIST on the CROSS! We have a right standing with God now - the sins that cost JESUS so much have now been cast as far as the East is from the West- and our sin of the past has been cast deeper then the deepest sea -its far away -gone from God's view -when He looks at the redeemed of the LORD - He only sees HIS SON - without this we have no hope and our relationship with God would have ended at the fall - and we would live hopeless lives - but praise be to GOD that HE sent JESUS to pay the price - He took our sins upon HIMSELF and bled and died for us - The good news is that our sin is gone - this does not mean we have a free ticket to do as we please - when you come in contact with God's love you will want to obey HIM - you will want to Honor HIM - your life will begin to reflect HIS glory - just like the moon does not have its on light but its simply a reflection of the Sun - we too are the same way - our lives reflect the Son- we are justified for good works -Our sin kept us away from GOD But the blood of the LAMB brought us back! We are justified in CHRIST and HIM alone -there is no where else in all the world for us to turn -no other source offers true complete forgiveness but our FATHER GOD!
Thanks be to GOD for CHRIST JESUS our LORD!

A SIDE NOTE:
The door that was slammed shut by sin has been opened by JESUS - He has justified us with GOD - we are now able to go to GOD at all times-
HE is there for us because JESUS died for us - Justification is a beautiful word- lets live lives of thankfulness for GOD'S grace!
