When does God justify us?
God justifies us at the moment we believe the work of the cross. By virtue of His shed blood, He has justified us and declared us just as if we never sinned. This justification is an act of God, and it should affect our daily behavior.
Les teaches that the moment we believe the work of the cross, God has justified us by virtue of His shed blood. He has declared us just as if we never sinned. Les explains that this has a psychological impact: when we move through daily life constantly aware from the moment we awake until we go to sleep at night that we are a justified person, it will affect our behavior. If it does not, then something is wrong. Understanding that we are declared a justified person by an act of God must have an effect on our behavior.
