Believers, do you know just how amazing it is to be justified in the eyes of God? The simplest definition of justification is "just as if you had not sinned." But it runs deeper than that. We were justified even when there was no just cause to do so. When God saved us, He did so without a reason to. We did not deserve it, and He had no reason to do so for we had rejected God. But He sent His son to the earth to live a perfect life, and then be sacraficed and be the ultimate sacrafice. "That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Believers do you know that you will stand justified before God?

Absolutely !! We have the confidence !! The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Our sin has been paid for on the bloody cross.....and by His resurrection, Jesus triumphed over sin and satan and wickedness.....for OUR justification. Blest be the Name of the Lord forever !!

OH HALLELUJAH!!!
We are justified by Faith...We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ..
I really enjoyed your sharing brother.. It was so watering and encouraging and a FACT. We are justified because of the Blood of the Lord Jesus.. our perfect Substitute who satisfied all the righteous requirements of the Father. Today we can be BROUGHT NEAR ..Praise the Lord!!! We are no longer enemies to God but can be children of God who grow to be the many sons of God.. and Even more.. we are the Maturing sons who will be the Joint Heirs..Praise the Lord for such a hope..such a way that He has given to us to be brought straight into the bosom of the Father.. To satisfy the Father's heart .. that today He does not have just One Begotten Son in the Lord Jesus Christ BUT the Many sons in Glory!!!!
Romans 8:30
And those whom He predestinated, these He also called.. and those whom He called, these He also Justified and those whom He justified these He also GLORIFIED!
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all with unveiled face.. beholding and reflecting like a mirror the GLORY of the Lord are being tranformed into the SAME image from glory to glory.. even as from the Lord Spirit!!!
Hallelujah for Justification
Great question
In Christ

I do believe it is a fact that one can be saved and know it:
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. - 1 John 5:13.

justified...BUT....
Being God's child or bride, etc.,. just saying the "I WILL" and receiving all the "gifts" and love, leaving them to collect dust nor acting on our promise, can lead to an "annulment" and gifts taken away, and we have only ourselves to blame.
To be "justified" we can NOT sit in righteousness and look upon mankind saying: "I am happy, I am well fed, I am clothed, I am healthy, etc.,...and then say "why aren't you"?
There are too many whom think that way and puts a blight upon what God and Jesus and The Holy Spirit say within the Bible.
Peace be with you all :)

I so agree with you. It is amazing that we,being born into sin, can be justified. Nothing, however, is impossible for our God! Here are some verses about being justified.
Acts 13:38-39
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 3:23-28
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. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans 8:33
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

I sure do! All believers should know. The only people I know of who don't know that all believers will be justified are non-believers.
