OUR JUSTIFICATION

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification (Romans 4:24-25).

Did you know that when Jesus was raised from the dead, you were raised together with Him? He wasn’t raised alone. We were in Him. Ephesians 2:5-6 says God “…quickened us together with Christ…and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Notice that it says "God quickened us together with Christ”; that means we came alive with Christ. Just as we were in Him in His death on the Cross and when He was buried, we were also in Him when He was raised back to life. When He was raised back to life, He was born again; He was a new man.

We, therefore, being raised together with Him, came alive as new creations in Christ Jesus: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). You’re not the man that was condemned in sin; you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Now you can understand why you’re justified by faith; why you’re declared not guilty. It’s not because Jesus died for you; that’s the legal aspect of justification. Our justification didn’t come because He died for us. His death for us was enough to set us free, but that’s not justification. Justification is about acquittal; you’re acquitted because you’re a new creature, without a past.

Therefore, our justification is the result of the life of Christ in us. That’s the life of the new creation; it’s without sin. It also helps you understand why the Bible says you’re to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4), putting on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for my justification in Christ Jesus. I live in the consciousness of my righteousness, free from guilt and condemnation. Being raised together with Christ, I reign in life as a new creation, unblemished and irreproachable in your sight. Your life in me is my confidence and assurance of a victorious, glorious and righteous walk, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TALK TO YOUR BODY AND IT WILL HEAR YOU

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37).

Words are the most important things in the world. They’re also the most potent forces on earth. God made everything with words and sustains everything with words—the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). And as read in our theme scripture, words would determine where you live eternally. Death and life are based on words (Proverbs 18:21).

So, what have you done with words? How do you use words? One of the things you have to practise is talking to your body—using your words to keep your body in health and perfection. Every so often, declare that you’re strong; you’re in health; every fibre of your being and organ in your body is perfected by the Holy Spirit.

Talk to your body and it will hear you. The human body is like an “animal” that needs to be trained. Insist on what you want your body to do, and it will start yielding to you. Every part of your body has intelligence; give your body instructions and insist that it obeys you, and in the process of time, it’ll get used to listening to you.

This is something you have to consciously practise if you haven’t been doing it. Talk to your brain, your head, your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, your heart, your blood, etc. If any part or organ in your body has been hurting or seems to have an issue, tell it to be healed and it will comply.

Remember what the Bible says in James 3; you can control and tame your whole body with your words: “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us…Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things..." (James 3:2-5).

Keep your body in health by speaking life to it. The Bible says the wholesome tongue is a tree of life. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and has given life to your physical body. He’s brought you into life and immortality. Make these and similar affirmations every so often. You say, “The Holy Spirit is the life of my body; therefore, I live free of sickness, disease, infirmities and the elements of this world.” Blessed be God!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

My physical body is alive and inundated with the pulsating life of God. As a result, I walk in divine health and vitality. I live free of sickness, disease, infirmities and the elements of this world. Hallelujah!
