Episode 338 - Show Notes:
- Not only has Jesus taken your place on the cross, not only has God forgiven you of your sin, but on the basis of the cross, God has declared you innocent and the record of your offense has been erased.
- The simple way to think of justification is a play on words: just as if we had never sinned.
- Sinners are in the wrong before God. They have broken his laws, they deserve punishment, but on the cross Christ took their place. Now, when they put their trust in Christ, they are declared to be in the right, acquitted, justified.
Romans 5:1-2 - “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.”
Hebrews 8:12 - “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
