• Our assurance, therefore, is based on knowledge and faith. We need to know God's thoughts about Christ's work on the cross in connection with our sins. Then also, we need to believe what God says about it. (“The Righteousness of Faith: Romans 4” by B. Anstey)
• He took "our" place there under the judgment of God and answered for our "offences" as our great Sin-bearer (1 Peter 3:18—"the just for the unjust that He might bring us to God"). Chapter 3:25 gives God's side of Christ's work on the cross; it emphasizes propitiation. Chapter 4:25 gives the believer's side of Christ's work on the cross; it emphasizes substitution. (“The Righteousness of Faith: Romans 4” by B. Anstey)
• Christ's resurrection was "for our justification." This would include His ascension, for justification not only has to do with the believer being cleared from every charge that has been against him (Acts 13:39), but it also involves his being brought into a new position before God "in Christ." (“The Righteousness of Faith: Romans 4” by B. Anstey)
• Looking at oneself is not where peace and assurance of salvation are found. We must look at Christ where He is at God's right hand. If He has been accepted there, and we are in His place before God, then we are accepted too! He is our righteousness in the presence of God (1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 5:21 ). (“The Righteousness of Faith: Romans 4” by B. Anstey)

a
"Dia" with the accusative means "for," "on account of," either retrospectively or prospectively, according to the requirement of the context (as here we have instances of the two). In the second instance the active force of "dikaiōsin" (justification) forbids "because of," even as {vi 28049}{/vi} does, for it makes faith necessary to justification. I therefore prefer "for" as admitting of a similar latitude in English. The mischief of the alleged rendering, "because of," is that it excludes faith from justifying, which is wholly unscriptural.
b
The form of the word here and in chapter 5:18 means the act of justification, not the thing done or its ground.
