JESUS: In His Name you are justified!

 “And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” (1 Cor. 6:11 ESV)

Made righteous as though you had never sinned!

The Word justified means to be declared righteous, to be made right with God. Justification is God declaring those who receive Christ to be made righteous based on Christ’s righteousness being imputed to the accounts of those who receive Christ. I like how one person described it, justified means just as if I'd never sinned!

A gift from Jesus to you

“And are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” (Rom. 3:24 ESV)

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:1 ESV)

Paid for by His blood

“Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” (Rom. 5:9 ESV)

Not by works but by faith in Jesus

“Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.” (Gal. 2:16 ESV)
