Justified

“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Being ‘Made right’ is being justified. It is a legal term. Jesus bought us freedom. We receive this freedom by faith. When a judge declares my action justified, I am free of all charges brought against me. Satan, the accuser, is the one who instigated the charges, but Jesus stands against him and says, ‘price paid’. The acrion that justifies me is faith in the blood of Jesus. He sets me free. 

We cannot work for the accuser. He will attempt to use us to speak against others. We are fools when we fall prey to his wiles. We may feel important but we are fools. 

Paul goes on to say:
Therefore, there is no condemnation for us who belong to Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death’( Romans 8:1,2) life is more powerful than death. Amen!
