Acts 13:39 And by him [Jesus] all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Believe and justified - these are two common words talk about among Christians, but how do they go together? We must believe in God and be justified through Him.
What do those words mean? The word believe means trust, know the existence of, and obey God. We must believe in Jesus in order to be justified. The law of Moses or the Torah (Genesis-Deuteronomy) could not justify us. When we trust God, know His existence, and obey Him; we have become justified.
The word justified, according to Google Dictionary, means, "Declared or made righteous in the sight of God." When we believe in Jesus, we are seen as and made righteous by God. We are the righteousness of Christ.
Now let us trust and obey God that we might be declared and seen as righteous by God.
This Tuesday, I encourage you to thank God that we only have to believe in Jesus to be justified because the Torah could not justify us. Pray to God throughout the day thanking Him for His unending amazing grace that comes from our belief in Him.
THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU! AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
