4. THE WAY OF JUSTIFICATION<br />
a. By God - Justification comes from God. He is <strong>the</strong> author and <strong>the</strong> giver. It is act performed by Him.<br />
i. Who shall lay any thing to <strong>the</strong> charge <strong>of</strong> God's elect It is God that justifieth.<br />
(Romans 8:33)<br />
b. By Grace – God’s grace (Gods undeserved love shown to us) is <strong>the</strong> source <strong>of</strong> <strong>justification</strong>.<br />
i. Being justified freely by his grace through <strong>the</strong> redemption that is in Christ Jesus:<br />
(Romans 3:24)<br />
c. By Blood – The blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus is <strong>the</strong> foundation (base) for <strong>justification</strong>.<br />
i. Much more <strong>the</strong>n, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath<br />
through him. (Romans 5:9)<br />
d. By Resurrection – The resurrection <strong>of</strong> Jesus is <strong>the</strong> public statement <strong>of</strong> <strong>justification</strong>.<br />
i. Who was delivered for our <strong>of</strong>fences, and was raised again for our <strong>justification</strong>.<br />
(Romans 4:25)<br />
5. THE PROOF OF JUSTIFICATION<br />
a. A person who is truly justified will show it in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y act and what <strong>the</strong>y do.<br />
i. Was not Abraham our fa<strong>the</strong>r justified by works, when he had <strong>of</strong>fered Isaac his son<br />
upon <strong>the</strong> altar Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith<br />
made perfect And <strong>the</strong> scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God,<br />
and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called <strong>the</strong> Friend <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
(James 2:21-23)<br />
ii. This scripture shows <strong>the</strong> proper relationship between Faith and Works. By faith we are<br />
justified, but after that we will live a righteous live which will produce good works.<br />
6. THE RESULTS OF JUSTIFICATION<br />
a. Peace – Peace <strong>of</strong> mind, conscience, soul through <strong>the</strong> love, truth and presence <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
i. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus<br />
Christ: (Romans 5:1)<br />
b. Contact with <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r – For worship, praise and prayer.<br />
i. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice<br />
in hope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glory <strong>of</strong> God. (Romans 5:2)<br />
c. Tribulation – We will have peace with God and tribulation (difficulty, trouble) with this world.<br />
i. … all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12)<br />
