Justification

When everything goes wrong and problems build up, when you don't know which way to turn, that's when frustration becomes the order of the day.

When this happens, and quite often it will, who takes the blame? When you are willing to accept the responsibility if things in life go wrong, maybe that's a good thing. Robert Schuller says, "accepting yourself with your imperfections gives evidence that your faith has achieved a remarkable level of maturity".

The apostle Paul says, "therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). So justification definitely is a source of blessing. Have you been justified?
