Justified
“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.” Romans 3:20
The old covenant law was meant to instruct us on how not to sin, not on how to be saved. Justification is by faith, not works. God will not justify your entrance into heaven by your religious works or by any standard of keeping the Old Testament laws and regulations, but by grace through faith in the work of Jesus Christ.
We do not disregard the law, but we do not fixate ourselves on it either. There is no constant referencing of the law through our day because we fix our eyes upon the Lord Jesus Christ and become justified by Him.
Let’s pray today that we would obediently trust in Christ’s grace for our justification to be saved.
