GOD IS THAT JUSTIFIED INTRODUCTION Is a marvelous thing, being justified or declared righteous. If we had never broken the law of God, there would be no need for such justification, being naturally fair. Who all his life has done what it should do, and never have done anything prohibited, if it is justified under the law. But Im sure that you, dear reader, do not find yourself in that state of innocence. Youre too honest to pretend to be clean from all sin, and therefore, you need to be justified. Well, if you justify yourself, you are deceived miserably. For the same reason, do not start that. Not worth it. If you ask another mortal to justify you, what you can do? Someone would praise you for four quarters, another will calumniaría for less. Well worth the little mans judgment. Romans 8:33 says, God that justifieth, and this, yes it is straightforward. This is amazing, it is a fact we must carefully consider. Come and see! First, no one but God could have thought of justifying those guilty. These are people who have lived rebels acting manifestly wrong with both hands; of people who have gone from bad to worse; people have become evil be punished even after being forced to stop committing evil for some time. They have broken the law and the gospel trodden underfoot. They have rejected the proclamation of mercy and persisted in iniquity. How will such people achieve forgiveness and justification? Acquaintances despair of them, saying, Son hopeless cases. Even Christians look to them rather sadly that hope. It surrounded by the splendor of the Grace of your choice, having chosen some God from before the foundation of the world, will not rest until you haberles justified and made us accepted in the Beloved. Is it not written: And those he predestined, he also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified ? (Rom. 8:30). So you can see that the Lord has solved some and justify why we would not be including you and me in this issue? No one but God would never think of justifying me. It turned out for me this wonderful. No doubt that Gods grace is equally seen in others. Behold Saul of Tarsus breathing threats and murder against the Lords servants. As ravenous wolf frightened the Lords sheep everywhere, yet God stopped him on the road to Damascus and changed his heart justificándole everything so fully, that soon this pursuer was the greatest preacher of justification by faith who ever lived on the face of the earth. Must often have marveled being justified by faith in Christ Jesus, because before he was a tenacious defender of salvation by works of the law. No one but God could have thought of justifying such a man as Saul the persecutor. But the Lord God is glorious in grace. But if someone thought of justifying the ungodly, none but God could. It is impossible for any person to forgive offenses which have been committed against herself. If anyone has seriously offended you, you can forgive, and I hope itll do; but a third person outside you can not forgive. As you proceed forgiveness. If you have offended God, is in the power of God to forgive himself, as against him was sin. Esta es la razón porque David dice en el Salmo 51:4 «A tí, a ti solo he pecado, y he hecho lo malo delante de tus ojos,» pues así Dios contra quien se ha cometido la ofensa, puede perdonarla. Lo que debemos a Dios, nuestro gran Creador puede perdonar, si así le place; y si lo perdona, perdonado queda. No one but the Great God against whom we have sinned, can erase our offense. Therefore, we turn to Him for mercy. And let us divert care for men, who want us to go to them for what only God can give us; lacking any foundation in the Word of God their claims. And even if they were ordered to utter words of absolution in Gods name will always be better that we go ourselves for forgiveness to the Lord our God, in the name of Jesus Christ, the one Mediator between God and men, as we know for certain that this is the true path. Religion is dangerous business custom. Infinitely better and safer is that you take care of personal affairs of your soul and not encargues to another. Only God can justify the ungodly, and can do so perfectly. He casts our sins on their backs, deletes, saying that although they seek, will not be found. No other reason than his infinite goodness has prepared a glorious way by which you can make the sins which are red like crimson whiter than snow and out of our transgressions as far as the east is from the west. God says: I will not remember your sins, going so far as to annihilate them. One of the former said in wonder: Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He has not kept his anger forever, because He delights in mercy. (Micah. 7:18). We do not speak of justice, nor of Gods dealing with men according to their deserts. If you plan to enter into a relationship with God, just based on the law, threatening eternal wrath awaits you because this is what you deserve. Blessed be his name, because he has not dealt with us after our sins; and today we discussed in terms of free grace and infinite compassion, saying: . them receive mercy and love them will Believe it, because it certainly is true that the great God is the guilty with abundant mercy. Yes, you can treat the ungodly as if it had always been kind. Read carefully the parable of the prodigal son, and see how the forgiving father received the child wanderer with as much love as if it had never lost and never contaminated by the world. So much the father showed his love, the older brother found reason to grumble about it, why not the father stopped loving him. You were guilty, provided you want to return to God, you will be treated like youve never done any harm. We will consider fair and will treat you pleased. What do you say to this? I wish him well clear of this glorious event. Since none but God would think of justifying the ungodly, and none but he could do, do not look like God, well what can you do? Notice how the apostle extends the challenge, Who shall bring any charge against Gods elect? It is God who justifies (Romans. 8:33). Having God justified a person is well done, done right, done fairly, and always perfectly done. The other day I read a printed full of venom against the gospel and those who preach it. He said that we believe in a theory by which we imagine that sin can be moved away from men. We do not believe in theories; proclaim a fact. The most glorious fact under heaven is this, that Christ by His precious blood royal positively away sin and that God for Christs sake, treating men in terms of divine mercy, forgives the guilty and justifies them, not according to some you see them or expected to be in them, but according to the riches of mercy who dwells in your own heart. This is what we have preached, which preach while we live. It is God who justifies, which justifies the ungodly. He is not ashamed to do so, nor shall we preach. At the same justification made by God can not be any doubt. If the judge declares me righteous, who can condemn me? If the highest court in the universe has pronounced me just, who accuse me? Justification from God is sufficient for conscious awareness response. The Holy Spirit blows through the same peace over our entire being and no longer live in fear. By this justification we can answer all the roars and all evil of Satan and men. This justification prepares us to die well, to resurrect and face the ultimate judgment. Sereno looked that day: Who will accuse me? Trust in the Lord my soul; Who will condemn me? Friend, the Lord can blot out all your sins. All sins will be erased to the children of men (Mat.12: 31). While you find the maximum-deep in misery, he can wipe with a word of leprosy, saying, I want, I was clean. Lord God is great forgiver. I believe in the forgiveness of sins. Do you believe? Even at this very moment, the judge can pronounce sentence upon you, saying, Your sins are forgiven thee: go in peace. And if it does, there is no power in heaven, on earth or under the earth you can acknowledge, much less condemn. No doubt the love of the Almighty. You could not forgive others, as if I had offended you have offended God. But you must not measure Gods grace to fit your narrow view. His thoughts and ways are higher than yours so high as heaven is above the earth Well, you might say, great miracle that God would forgive me. Right! It would be a huge miracle, and therefore is very likely to do so because he does great things and unsearchable (Job 5:44) for us unexpected As for me, I was affected under a terrible feeling of guilt that made me life unbearable; but to hear the exhortation: Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. (Isa. 45:22), then I looked, and in a moment the Lord justified me. Jesus Christ, made sin for me was what I saw, and that sight gave me rest to the soul. When men bitten by the poisonous serpents in the wilderness looked to the serpent of brass they were healed immediately, and thus to look with the eyes of faith the crucified Saviour for me. The Holy Spirit, who gave me the ability to believe, informed me peace through faith. So true I felt forgiven me, as I had felt before convicted. He had really felt condemnation because the Word of God I had declared me witness it consciousness. But when the Lord just told me, I was equally certain by the same witnesses. For the Word of God says, Whoever believes in him is not condemned (John 3:18), and my conscience bore witness to me and I thought that was just God forgive me .. So I have the testimony the Holy Spirit and of consciousness, both testifying to the same thing. How I wish the reader to receive the testimony of God in this matter, and soon also have the witness in himself! I dare say that a sinner is justified by God on firmer foundation than the man justified by his works, if such a man existed. Well never have confidence that you have done enough good works; would always restless consciousness itself, after all, only missing something and would rest on the fallible judgment of a dubious trial. But when God himself justifies, and the Holy Spirit bears witness, giving us peace with God, then we feel that the fact is very firm and solid, and the soul enters into rest. Words can not explain the deep calm that comes over the soul that receives the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Dude, look it up right now. ***
