The Benefits of Justification

Our Bible passage teaches us that a believer in Jesus Christ is justified by God, has the righteousness of God counted to him and so already enjoys peace with God. The believer has everlasting access to God's grace and favor through the work of Jesus Christ out Lord. The believer also rejoices in the hope of the glory of God, even through the sufferings of this present age. The believer's hope will not disappoint, because God's Spirit is the guarantee of God's enduring love for us and in us.
