Have you been justified?
If you are justified, you will go to heaven. Otherwise, you cannot go to heaven.
Justification is when a person is declared righteous by God.
Although justification is such an important event in Christianity, it is very surprising that there are not many Christians who can explain it with certainty. A correct and biblical interpretation of this justification was a major issue in the Middle Ages. So, the Reformers at that time brought the brilliance of the Reformation back to the church with the motto of “Justification by faith alone”, that is, “Justification by faith alone”. If you have the wrong doctrine of justification, you are no longer a church.
It seems that the content that Martin Luther corrected can be easily said in two ways.
First, justification comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. It does not mean that we are justified when we are accompanied by good deeds. Second, justification is the one-time proclamation of God's righteousness given at the time of conversion by accepting Jesus as the Savior.
If you believe in Jesus and live a life that is being justified, or because you live righteously in faith, you are not justified later. The moment you believe in Jesus today. Romans 5:9 says, “You have been justified by His blood.”
What is justification?
It is a legal act of God declaring to sinners that all requirements of the law have been fulfilled based on the righteousness of Jesus Christ. God's leading event of salvation, the proclamation of righteousness, and righteousness from God. In salvation and justification, it was God's initiative, God's initiative.
Justification does not mean that a person is recognized as righteous because he continues to do good deeds while living in faith.
If you stay in purgatory and the measure of your good deeds is recognized, then you are justified and not saved. This is not justification on the part of human beings through human will and actions. This is God's justification. It is a declaration of righteousness that God proclaims through Jesus Christ, the event of His death and purification with blood.
You must believe in Jesus. We are lonely because we believe in Jesus. receive praise. Because of the merits of Jesus, we are justified by God through the blood and forgiveness of sins. It is through faith in this Jesus. It's not my act. It's not my work. It's not on my side.
God's mercy and unchanging love for this sinner is what leads us to the unreachable righteousness of God. He does not attract you who are sinners, but He frees us from His own glorified status.
Benefit of Justification
1) redemption
All our sins have been paid for. I no longer have to worry about death and hell again. God paid the price for our sins through the death of Jesus Christ.
Now, no one can protest against God. Even Satan cannot come to God and plead, 'This man is such a sinner, how can a just God make him a righteous man to enter the kingdom of heaven?' Because He has now justified us. Romans 8:1 says, “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Who will condemn? Who will break from that love? No one can now drag those whom God justifies into the depths of sin and hell again. That's why 8:39 declares, "Neither height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." We are caught up in the love of God. It is held securely in the hand you do not let go.
2) reconciliation
Those who have been separated from God are now with God. Those who had avoided God now rejoice in God. I prayed to Him and lived a spiritual life of fellowship. The barriers were torn down, and I came to God because of Jesus Christ, who was like him.
3) sanctification
The status of justification once received cannot be lost. Because God's legal proclamation is unchanging. Justification is not achieved through good human efforts, but God commands and helps those who have been justified to lead a life worthy of their status. That is what is called sanctification. In the Middle Ages, this was confused and the life of sanctification was thought of as a process of justification. But justification is one proclamation, and all subsequent processes are sanctification. God grants the grace to enable His righteous believers, who are lacking, to live holy lives on this earth. And make you win. And God will take responsibility for and help you until you reach the final destination of man, glorification, that is, glorification.
