Justification is the act by which a Sinner is freed through faith from
the penalty of his Sin and is accepted by God as righteousness.
Genesis
15:6 and Romans 4:3 tells us that Abraham believed God and
it was counted unto him for righteousness. That word, counted, is a bookkeeping
word. When Abraham believed and trusted God, his moral and spiritual books
were balanced.
When
you receive Jesus Christ into your innermost being and He becomes your
Lord and Savior, and you obey Him as best as you can, His blood cleanses
you from all Sin (1 John 1:9) and you are truly justified in God's
spirit.
Romans
2:13 "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified."
Romans
8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Romans
5:1 "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ."
Justification,
to me, simply means "Just as if I have never Sinned"
The
blood of Jesus on the cross paid our Sin debt forever and justified us
from the wrath that is to come.
1
Corinthians 6:11 "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but
ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God."
How
wonderful and plain does God speak to us through his word.

Justification
is another of the brilliant hues of God's salvation reflected through
the prism of God's word.
Justification
is a legal term designed to picture the believer's new status before God.
God
declares men of faith to be justified, i.e. treated as though innocent
before God. The moving cause of Justification is the Grace of God. The
ground upon which Justification is accomplished is the blood of Jesus.
Justification, like all other aspects of Salvation, is appropriated by
Faith.
