Who Justifieth the Ungodly

More on Justification before Faith !

The Justification that all men have who Christ died for, and that without them doing anything, they have it even while they are His Enemies Rom 5:10, it consists in forgiveness of sins Eph 1:7, which does correlate with non imputation of sin Rom 4:7-8, whereby the sins forgiven are never charged to their account against them, it also denotes God accepting them into His Divine Favor as being Just, Righteous, and accepts them as if they have never sinned; and again this is before they believe or obey the Gospel !

 

[brightfame52]

Everyone Christ died for is by His death/blood alone Justified in the sight of God Rom 5:9,19 even though they are not yet Justified by Faith. You see one whom Christ died for does not need to be Justified by Faith in order to be Justified before God or in His sight, for to be Justified by faith is only to benefit the Justifed one in knowing of his or her Justification before God, for it is only a necessary consequence of having been Justified before God by the sole obedience of Christ Rom 5:19

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Here made Righteous and Justification are the same ! 11

The time of their Justification before God ?

What is, for those Christ died for, what is the time of their Justification before God ?

For those Christ died for, they are Justified before God, when God see's and accepts Christ's blood for the full satisfaction of all their sins against His Law and Justice; for that ransom blood shed for them did set them free from the curse of the Law Gal 3:13 and did purge them from al guilt of their sins Heb 1:3 and presents them for Christ's blood sake, blameless, unreprovable in His sight Col 1:21-22

21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

And these results are are solely done by HIMSELF Heb 1:3, through the body of His Flesh,

No other causes of collaboration were needed or used to bring about these blessed and merciful results !

The time of their Justification before God ? 2

Before those Christ died for ever believe a thing, and while they are by nature children of wrath Eph 2:3 Yet in the Knowledge of God, those for whom He died were Justified before God, when within Himself He had already determined not to impute sin unto them, that it should be imputed to Christ and that He should die for their sins, and so it is revealed in the word of reconciliation 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ [In the Eternal Purpose Eph 3:11], reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

By this, God in His Mind had determined ages and ages ago, from everlasting, to inflict Eternal Vengeance and Justice for their sins on Christ, but not only that, He correlatively determined to accept them as Righteous, having bestowed upon them or clothed them with the Righteousness of His Son, so is the implication of 2 Cor 5:21

21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

All these known Transactions where known and affirmed in the Mind of God from before the foundation Acts 15:18

18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

Ps 33:11

11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Would not these things be considered the Thoughts [intentions, purposes, designs] of His Heart ? When would have these thoughts originated in the Mind of the Eternal One ?

Isa 14:24

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

The time of their Justification before God ? 3

Justification is simply by the will of God; some things are so simply because its the Will of God to be so; Paul wrote at times 2 Cor 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

Eph 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Col 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

2 Tim 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

And since we know that it is God who Justifieth Rom 8:33

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Then those whom He Justifieth are so according to His Will; Now in this Will of God, it has been from before the world began, and His Will not to punish the Elect for their sins, this must be because in His Eternal Purpose in Christ, He was appointed by the Will of God to die for their sins from before the foundation 1 Pet 1:20

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

The fact that He was foreordained before the foundation, makes manifest God's Will before the foundation !

Christ according to the will of God in the Eternal Purpose was slain already for their sins Rev 13:8

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

By His will He redeemed them from the curse of the Law Gal 3:13 and from its punishment.

By this decretive will alone, those Christ should die for are in the Mind and Will of God Justified from all punishment and wrath 1 Thess 1:10 due to their sins, beginning in adam their natural federal head;

God's absolute will not to punish them Christ in time would die for, is the essence of Him Justifying them in His Own Mind; This is True because that which was in God's Mind to secure the Elect from His Wrath, in that they were discharged from their sins and punishment due, can rightly be called Justification before God ! 11
