To justify is to declare righteous.
Now justification in Christianity always brings the believer into a new position before God.
The believer is justified as being "in Christ" before God.
Grace is the way of it. (Rom. 3:24.) Faith is the means of it. (Rom. 3:28.) The blood is the ground of it. (Rom. 5:9.)
"Justification of life" in Rom. 5:18 is our standing before God in Christ who is our life. (Col. 3:4.)
Wondrous grace! What praise must break forth when we see ourselves "in Christ" before God, and learn that the will and the heart of God put us there!
NO condemnation!"-precious word!
Consider it, my soul!
Thy sins were all on Jesus laid;
His stripes have made thee whole.
In heaven the blood forever speaks
In God's omniscient ear;
The saints, as jewels on His heart,
Jesus doth ever bear.
"No condemnation!"-O my soul,
'Tis God that speaks the word,
Perfect in comeliness art thou
In Christ, the risen Lord.
Teach me, O God, to fix mine eyes
On Christ, the spotless Lamb,
So shall I love Thy precious will,
And glorify His name.
