Justified

"[B]eing justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;" (Rom 3:24 NAS95)

God has made us right not be cause we have earned the right to be right. No. God has justified us by his grace which is a gift. A gift is freely giving and is not earned. God freely gave his only son to die for our sins to redeem us from the penalty of sin which is death.

Being justified is to be made right or to be vindicated of all wrong. The problem is that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). However God has saw fit to place his Son righteousness on us and placed our sin on him. The gift of justification is a gift that is continuously being unfolded in every day walk of faith. This gift delivers peace, joy, love and favor in areas of your life because of Jesus being with you every day of your life. 

Therefore being justified one should now live as on is set free. No longer living in the life of pain, sin and death that one was delivered from. This awesome gift is giving to give you a life that is full of God's great blessings for now and forever more. You did not earn it but it is given. The least one can do is show appreciation by living in obedience to the giver's commands and will. Because the plans for you life is according to his will and will work out in your favor because of his great love for you. Live free and die free because you are justified and now are guilt free because of the Son you have been redeemed. You are free.
