For Our Justification

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. (Romans 4:23-25)
-

God has never saved sinners but one way. Righteousness was imputed to Abraham by grace through faith in Christ and righteousness shall be imputed to us, God’s people today and in every age, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.

It is Him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead that we are exhorted here to believe on. Paul said to the jailer, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Why the difference? There is no difference. Christ said, "That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him" (John 5:23). Though this is expressed in the negative, the principle is clear. To honor Christ is to honor God in all His glorious Persons, offices and attributes. To believe God, as Abraham is said to have done, is to believe the triune God and to trust the Son to bring us to the Father by giving us life by the Holy Spirit.

Those who are dead set on systematizing their theology have wrested this idea of the resurrection being for our justification. Having scripture which attributes our justification to God’s grace and Christ’s blood, they apparently think it cannot therefore also be attributed to Christ’s resurrection. Why not?

First of all, you cannot systematize what God has said. Just believe it. Secondly if Christ fails in any aspect of His work for sinners, then I have no justification before God. Every aspect of that finished work can be said truly and gloriously to be for my justification. Christ’s blood was shed for my justification, He lived righteously perfect for my justification, He arose for my justification. Everything He did on this earth was to glorify His Father, and justify His sheep.
