One of the most important things that God has ever done is that he has justified those who
receive the gospel. And that justification is forever because of the sufficiency and even we can
say the perfection of messiahs work, he was successful, and therefore we receive the eternal
benefits. Take out your Bible and look with me to the book of Romans and chapter three. In this
passage, Paul is going to make a very clear case for rightly understanding the law and how one
is justified. Now, in the biblical language, there is a relationship between being justified and
being righteous. In the New Testament language, Greek, it is the same word. So when we are
justified, we become righteous, and therefore we can be in a relationship with God, we will be
invited into His kingdom where we will spend eternity with Him. So He wants to reveal to this
congregation in Rome.
