Today’s Word from God’s Word-Justified

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Justified.

One definition of Justified is to be declared “not guilty” in the sight of God. A good way to remember this definition is to break down the word, “Just-as-if-I’d-not-sinned.”

Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Even though we have disobeyed God, His grace makes it possible for us to be counted as righteous in His eyes. His forgiveness brings us peace and healing. Romans 5:1 says, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
