JUSTIFIED
BY HIS GRACE

Scripture Reading: Romans
3:21-26
"0 the depth of the
riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are
His judgments, and His ways past finding out!" (Romans 11:33).
Until the saint of God has come to the point of accepting with
simple, child-like faith those things relating to God which are
unfathomable to the human intellect, he cannot attain the confidence
and peace which are available to him. How can one otherwise even
imagine that it is possible for a lowly, hapless sinner to be
declared righteous simply by believing that it is so! Even more
difficult to comprehend is the fact that this has been accomplished
by the only purely innocent being who ever lived.
It was all done "through
the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to
be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time His
righteousness: THAT HE MIGHTBEJUSTAND THE JUSTIFIER OF HIM WHICH
BELIEVETH IN JESUS" (Romans 3:24b-26). There we have it! What
great good news is this revealed to us by our own apostle Paul as he
had been appointed and instructed to do when God sent Ananias to
advise him:
"The God of our
fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know His will, and see
that Just One, [Christ] and shouldest hear the voice of His
[Christ's] mouth. For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of
what thou hast seen and heard" (Acts 22:14, 15).
Paul confirms that this
very experience came to pass, as he relates it humbly in the third
person (II Corinthians 12:1-5).
