We Christians have been justified by Christ. Life does toss in twist and turns, yet we can live in confidence by always trusting the Savior who lovingly released us from the requirements of perfection found in the law.
Thank the Lord we have a God who delivers each of us by sending His son Jesus Christ to die for us in our place. We could never earn forgiveness for we often fail while striving for perfection. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. He gave us access to life through faith, as it says from Romans 5:1 “Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This is the perfect example of true love, in opposition of having to work so hard to justify ourselves (which we could never do) we were supplied with the grace of Christ which is the beautiful example of God’s care and love. “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith” Romans 3:24-25a.
Romans 5:5 “and hope makes us not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad by the Holy Ghost who is given unto us.” After salvation the Holy Ghost will be in us and will guide us to direct others to Christ. “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:26
We could never earn salvation on our own, but the Lord, through love, sent us the most amazing free gift. “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in the accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He richly poured upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior” Titus 3:5-6
