God’s Standard for Justice
Dearly beloved of God, Jesus Christ is the end of the law for righteousness [His justness] to everyone who believes in him.
God set the standard for His justness to mankind, not man, and thank God He did. He showed us His marvelous grace to us in Christ and by what he accomplished for us.
Jesus Christ came to fulfill all righteousness, or all of God’s justness, and he did!
The four gospel records teach us what Jesus did to fulfill the law. He died for our sins and God raised him out from among all the others who remain in the grave. He ascended into heaven, and God made him sit at His right side. Then Jesus Christ sent the promise of the Father, which was the gift of holy spirit, and the remission of sins.
Now the justness of God without the law is manifested, even the justness of God which was by the believing of Jesus Christ to all who believe. Dearly beloved, he did what none of us could do for ourselves.
Jesus Christ was the Author and Finisher of the right way of believing to fulfill God’s justice. He is the only one to begin and to accomplish the right way of believing God, so that we might be saved by believing in him.
Jesus was the only one capable of fulfilling the justice of God. He is the only one that God raised him from the dead thus far, and he is the only one that has ascended into heaven, and seated God's right side thus far.
God made Jesus both Lord and Christ, and He put all things under his feet, and He made him head over all things in the Church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all things in all people.
God set the standard for His justice. The justice or righteousness of God is according to God’s standard, which He declared in the Scriptures regarding the gospel of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ.
His Son did all the work to save us so that in him we might have eternal life. That salvation is ours by the grace of God by believing in Jesus Christ; it is absolutely not by our works.
We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on the basis of his good works, not ours. God ordained that we are to walk in what Jesus Christ accomplished.
In Christ we are righteousness of God. In him we stand before God without any sense of sin, guilt, or condemnation.
In Christ we are holy and without blame in the Father’s sight.
The Father accepts us in His beloved Son, and He gave us access to Him by the spirit.
In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace, which He has abounded to us! Oh rejoice, dearly beloved!
God our Father has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm; He freely gives us all things with Christ. We are completely filled in Christ.
Beloved, it is Christ in you, the hope of glory, and rest assured, that glory is coming, dearly beloved. It could be any day now.
When Christ appears we will be glorified with him, having glorious new bodies, eternal life; we will be like him, and today’s afflictions are not worthy to compare to the glory that will be revealed in us.
Thank God that His standard for justice far exceeds any that we could have imagined. Thank God for the exceeding riches of His grace that He has shown us in Christ. Thank God that in Christ we are now highly favored in His sight as His dearly beloved children.
Rejoice, dearly beloved, and give God thanks for the justice He has so graciously shown us in Christ.
