TEACH THEM TO OBEY

LESSON FIVE; I’M JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH

Adam’s sin made man unrighteous and guilty of eternal punishment in hell (Rom 1:18). God made man for fellowship but man was denied access to Him because of unrighteousness. No man could be made righteous by observing the law or doing good works. God’s righteousness can only be received freely by grace through faith in Christ. When Jesus went to the cross and died, he bore the punishment that we should have carried. Jesus died in our place, so that we might be declared righteous or justified through faith.

What it means to be justified

a.       To be declared righteous in God’s sight

b.      To be brought in a right relationship with God

c.       To be treated as if one has never sinned

d.      We are justified when we believe and confess Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

We received God’s righteousness – 2Cor 5:21

a.       We received God’s righteousness when we were justified

b.      With God’s righteousness, we can live like Christ.

c.       God sees us through his own righteousness and not our 

own righteousness

We received grace when we were justified

a.       We walk in righteousness by grace – Rom 5:2

b.      Through grace, we are faultless before God – Jude 1:24 (KJV)

c.       Through grace, we are kept from falling – Jude 1:24 (KJV)

d.      We cannot stand in the faith without grace – Jude 1:24 (KJV)

We have peace with God – Rom 5:1

a.       We are reconciled to God when we are justified

b.      We have divine favour when we are justified

c.       We are saved from God’s wrath; and he is pleased with us when we are justified

d.      We have an unbroken fellowship with the Father because we are justified

e.       We can approach God without fear at any time because we are justified – Heb 4:16

f.       God is obliged to protect and provide for us because we are justified

CONFESSION: I have God’s righteousness; God does not count my sins against me because Jesus died to pay for my sins.
