GOD’S DECISION
God the Creator and Lord decided to commit Himself to the humans
He created and became one of us so we can be His.
His justice and His Kingdom are proclaimed in His Word.
His Word is Truth and everlasting.
The more we are informed and instructed by His Word
the better we learn to obey Him.
God’s decision to forgive our sins on the basis of His sacrifice
and our faith is His righteousness and glory.
The Father pronounces us to be righteous because of the faith
He gave us in His Son Jesus Christ.
He pronounces us to be His sons because we are accepted in
His beloved Son.
He pronounces us to be free. He pronounces us to be holy.
He pronounces us to be wise.
” But now, apart from the Law, the righteousness of God has
been disclosed and is attested by the Law and the prophets,
the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all
who believe. For there is no distinction, since all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by His grace
as a gift through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Whom God put
forth as a sacrifice of atonement by His blood, effective through faith.
He did this to show His righteousness, because in His divine forbearance
He has passed over the sins previously committed;
it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and
that He justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.
Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law?
By that of works? No, but by the Law of Faith.
For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from the works
prescribed by the Law.”
(Romans 3.21-28).
