God the Justifier of the Redeemed

The word "justify", in one form or another appears more than sixty-five times in our English Bibles. The word means to prove to be right or to be reasonable; spiritually it means to be made righteous by the Spirit of God based on the merits of Christ. God demands perfection in all who stand before Him, they must be accepted in peace and justification assuring the innocence of every believer who stands before God wrapped in the perfect righteousness of God's appointed substitute, the Great Shepherd.
