Justified
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:16 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Justified before God
Nothing in the Law (10 commandments) can justify you before God. Are you justified? Definition, Justified: To be in right standing before God, to be acquitted of all sins before God. Can you stand before the Creator of the Universe and be acquitted? There is only one thing you can do that will justify you before the Lord God Almighty. That one thing is to believe by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what happened to Him for you on the Cross, and then accept Him as your Lord and Savior! All the works of the law (Religion and religious works, keeping the ten commandments, being good, doing good, even going to church regularly, etc.) that you do will not justify you before the Lord God Almighty nor will it stand the test of fire on the day of judgment. Only what you have done by faith in Jesus will remain. Knowing ‘about’ Him is NOT enough. You must have had a personal day to day relationship with Jesus. If you have, He will stand before the Father and say “Father, this is Pastor Duane (insert your name here if this true for you), he is one of mine. I have justified him before You!”
MY PRAYER…
Everlasting Father, may Your love for Your people continue to be burned into my spirit. May what You had Jesus do for “ME” that day on the Cross be forever engrained in my heart, may I never cease to remember and to give You thanks and praise for loving me so much before I ever loved You. Father, I thank You that I have been justified (2000 plus years ago) by the Blood of Your Only begotten Son and that by my faith in Him I can come boldly before Your Throne of grace and mercy and that I may partake of all the blessings of heaven here on earth. Through the name of Jesus, who loves me, I pray.
Amen
God does NOT forget nor does He change.
