DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 2; Psalms 99-101; Acts 25:13-27
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that
justifi eth. Romans 8:33
What a joy it is to be justifi ed. We the underserving are justifi ed by
grace (Rom. 3:24). Our very name, believers, reminds us that we
are justifi ed by faith (Rom. 5:1). Although easy for us, it cost Christ
His life, for we are justifi ed by His blood (Rom. 5:9). As we live for
Him, we do so with confi dence, for we are fi lled with His resurrection
might, being justifi ed by power (Rom. 4:25). Praise God. He has
justifi ed us. —Duncan Maxwell
O joy of the justifi ed, joy of the free!
I’m washed in that crimson tide opened for me;
In Christ, my Redeemer, rejoicing I stand,
And point to the print of the nail in His hand. —Frank Bottome
