Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand. Romans 5:1-2
RECOMMENDED READING: Romans 5:1-11
J. Packer wrote a book, God’s Words, about key biblical terms, oneof which was justification. As a noun, this word occurs three times in the New Testament. As a verb, it’s found 39 times, mostly in the writings of Paul. “It is his way of formulating the essential Gospel message,” Packer wrote, “that through Christ’s death guilty sinners, once justly under wrath, come into a new relationship with God as His beloved children, under grace.”
When we’re justified, God takes our sins and places them on Christ, and then He takes the righteousness of Christ and places it on us. It’s a double transaction. Our sins are imputed to Christ, and His sinlessness is imputed to us. That doesn’t mean we are presently incapable of sinning.
Instead, it means when God looks at us, He sees us wrapped in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Knowing this word makes us want to live up to our position and bring every habit under our Lord’s control. Where do you need to start?
TURNING POINT
Through one act of righteousness-the life and death of the sinless Christ-the free gift came unto all.
J. I. Packer
