just what does it mean to be justified? Justification is a judicial term. It is legally separate from practice in that I can be justified independent of practice. Perhaps I have exemption of judgment because the judge has favor on me or because I bribe the judge. In either case I can be justified independent of my transgressing a certain law. Justification is the opposite of being framed. Witness Ro. 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, Further the following dyad further exposes the jurisprudential nature of justification--independent of actions but where there is no law, there also is no violation. Ro. 4:15 and sin is not imputed when there is no law. Ro. 5:13 Finally couple the above dyad with BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT Ro. 4:8 and For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Ro. 8:2) and you will see that whom the Son sets free, shall be free indeed.

Dear Beloveds, Greetings from the People's Republic of California . But I don't actually live here, or anywhere else on the planet. Paul says that we do not live in this world (Col. 2:20). Thus I merely shadow here. I really live in Christ. He is our life. Our lives were not working so the Father got rid of them with Christ's old life. Praise the Lord I am free from me and Christ's new life is my own!
