Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. (Romans 4:23-25, NASB)
The “he” in the first line of the passage above refers to Abraham. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Roman church, discussed Abraham as an example of justification by faith. Abraham and his wife Sarah were advanced in age, yet God promised them they would have a son, and through that son, Abraham was to be a father of many nations. In short, Abraham believed God.
Paul says that it’s not only Abraham who was justified (made just before God) but “for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.” If we believe in God, and believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, then we will be saved!
Further, Jesus “was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.” Jesus’ mission was to die. That was His sole purpose for coming to earth. God’s plan of salvation was to send His Son to die as our substitute to take the punishment we deserve, and to die in our place. God raised Jesus from the dead so that we might be made right, or just with God. We must accept Jesus’ sacrifice for our justification.
I praise God and thank Him for His plan of salvation, and for my salvation!
I recently finished “reading” “Saving My Assassin” by Virginia Prodan on Audible. Mrs. Prodan was raised in communist Romania under the brutal dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaucescu. She became a lawyer. A colleague invited her to church, and she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. Christianity was frowned upon in Romania by the regime. She represented fellow believers and churches against false charges, which the government and secret police didn’t like. One day a man showed up in her office and said he was going to kill her. Can you guess what happened next? The title is a great spoiler alert, but there’s much more to the story. I saw the author on The 700 Club, and I had to read her book!
