Righteouness of God |
The death of the one God-Man, Jesus Christ, so displayed and glorified the righteousness of God, that God is not unrighteous to declare righteous ungodly people who simply believe in Christ. Romans 8 speak of our clearance from guilt and condemnation (Rom. 8:33-34). God is the judge before whose court we have been justified. Anyone who would bring a charge against God's chosen ones must face the Judge (God) who has justified them, that is, set them in right standing with Him. (Rom. 3:21-31). Neither man nor Satan, the Accuser of the brethren, is able to bring a charge against them (Rev. 12:10-11). Neither can anyone condemn God's elect because Christ has already condemned sin in the flesh (Rom. 8:3) and now stands as our Advocate, Representative in God's court, having fully satisfied God's just requirements for our sins and those of the whole world (1 John 2:1-2). All who would bring false accusations against God's chosen and justified ones will be turned away in defeat. Go ahead and get happy! |
