Mo. 9/9/13: Deuteronomy
25:1 What is ‘justify
the righteous’?
“If
there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may
judge them, and they justify the
righteous and condemn the wicked
What is ‘justify
the righteous’? A judge declares one righteous: He was already innocent but the
judge declares that he is innocent.
Tu. 9/10/13: Exodus 23:7 –
8 What will God not
do?
Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the
innocent and righteous. For I will not
justify the wicked. And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
What will God not
do? God will not justify the wicked. This puts all humanity into condemnation.
We. 9/11/13: Proverbs 17:15 What is an
abomination to God?
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both
of them alike are an abomination to the
Lord.
What is an
abomination to God? Declaring the guilty innocent or vice versa is an
abomination to God.
Th. 9/12/13: Romans 3:23 – 24,
26 How then can God
be just?
…
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely
by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
…
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that (God) might be just and the
justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
How then can God
be just? If God justifies one who only has faith, but is wicked, isn’t God
unjust?
Fr. 9/13/13: Romans 8:3 – 4 Who was condemned?
For
what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might
be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to
the Spirit.
Who was condemned? The perfect one who came in the
flesh was condemned for my sin. He paid my penalty and believing that He did
so, I am justified. I am declared righteous!
