Day 30 - Rom 4:24-25 Because Christ is RISEN, I am Justified and Raised with Him
Romans 4:24-25, But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; (25) Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
In Romans 4:24-25, Paul emphasizes the significance of Christ's resurrection as proof of the believer's justification. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only a testament to His divine power but also serves as evidence that His payment for our sins was accepted by God. This acceptance of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf demonstrates that there is nothing left for us to do to earn our salvation, as it has been fully accomplished through the work of Christ on the cross.
As the heir of all things, Christ has entered into His inheritance, and through our faith in Him, we are qualified and exalted with Him. We now are qualified for incredible privilege and honor bestowed upon believers, as we are now co-heirs with Christ and partakers in His divine inheritance. Our justification and exaltation are not based on our own merits or works but solely on the grace of God and the finished work of Christ. Through His resurrection, Jesus has secured our eternal inheritance and position in the heavenly realms, assuring us of our salvation and the glorious future that awaits us as children of God and joint heirs with Christ.
