Today we unwrap the unbelievable gift of Justification.
Justification is a legal declaration that the accused (and guilty) party is innocent or not guilty, regardless of all the evidence being stacked against them.
“The primary reason for the incarnation was that God might justify sinners through Christ’s sinless life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection.” – Jared Wilson
The evidence is stacked against you.
It cannot be denied – you are guilty.
You are a sinner and there are no more excuses.
The debt must be paid.
The judge declares you guilty but leaves his bench to come and pay your debt – with his life.
If a sinner repents and believes in the work of Christ on the cross God declares that sinner innocent.
It is finished. You cannot be punished for the same sin twice.
Jesus paid it all.
In this chapter, Jared Wilson relates shadows of the gospel from the movie Fred Clause.
