In Romans He is “our
Justifier.”
Apostle Paul presents Jesus Christ as “the second
Adam” whose Righteousness and substitutionary death have provided justification
for all who place their faith in Him.
His death and resurrection are the basis for the
believer’s redemption, justification, reconciliation, salvation, and
glorification.
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the
Power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek.
For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to
faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Rom 1:16-17 KJV
Justification is by faith, and we receive the
Righteousness of God by faith.
But now the Righteousness of God without the Law is manifested,
being witnessed by the Law and the prophets;
Even the Righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God;
Being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in
His Blood, to declare His Righteousness for the remission of sins that are
past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time His Righteousness: that He might
be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Rom 3:21-26 KJV
