34. Justification

Today we talk about the crucial topic of justification (or being made righteous).Scriptures used:John 1:12-13Romans 8:92 Corinthians 5:17Romans 5:1-2Romans 3:19-20Romans 3:23Genesis 15:1-6Romans 4:20-25Ephesians 2:8-9James 2:20-24James 2:14-19John 17:3Ephesians 2:10John 3:16John 20:30-31Romans 5:6-92 Corinthians 5:21Galatians 2:16Romans 8:1Philippians 4:6-7Romans 8:31-34Galatians 6:1-2Hebrews 12:5-11Hebrews 4:16Hebrews 10:19-222 Corinthians 5:9Psalm 19:14John 14:15**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said at one point that we are saved by faith. What I meant was that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus ChristI said Hebrews 10:19-20. I meant to say Hebrews 10:19-22.I said that if we are in Christ that we have been justified and the Lord loves us. I don't meant to imply that the Lord does not love those who are not yet born again. The Bible is clear that He loves everyone and that it is because of His love that He offers us the opportunity through Jesus Christ to be saved (e.g., John 3:16; Romans 5:6-11). My point was simply that we do not have to earn His love.Support the showIf you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.
