THE NEW CREATION SUMMIT| NATURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS | NEW LIFE| Discipleship |CHIMDI OHAHUNA

Welcome to Day 6 of the New Creation Summit! We’ve journeyed through the profound truths of Scripture, and today we advance into the study of justification as presented in Romans 8:33-34. Building on our previous discussion of Romans 8:23, we turn to insights from reputable Bible commentaries, including the esteemed Albert Barnes, to enrich our understanding.

In this episode, we unpack the compelling questions posed in Romans: "Who shall accuse?" and "Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?" As we explore these verses, we come to a powerful realization: the very essence of being chosen by God removes any grounds for accusation. God’s elect, those selected according to His eternal plan, are cherished and secure in His grace. We will emphasize that justification is not merely a doctrinal concept but a divine act where God saves His people in such a way that no charge can stand against them.

We also confront the insidious tactics of the enemy, who seeks to sow seeds of doubt and guilt in our minds, aware that before God, we stand uncondemned. Our discussion will illuminate how guilt can mislead us if we rely solely on our conscience. While our conscience serves as a guide, it can sometimes misfire, leading us to false condemnation—a reminder of God’s greater truth, that His understanding surpasses our feelings of guilt.

Taking a closer look at the nature of justification, discover how it entails God’s foresight into our lives. He justifies us knowing our past, present, and future failures yet chooses to offer us grace. This concept lays the groundwork for our understanding of eternal security in Christ. We are safe and secure in our redemption, with the promise that God will not condemn us again.

However, we emphasize that this truth does not grant us a license to sin. Rather, true justification invites us into a lifelong process of repentance and growth in Christ. The Greek word for repentance denotes a continual changing of our minds and perspectives. As we remain in Christ, our eyes are opened to deeper truths, and we find ourselves craving a more intimate relationship with Him.

Join us for this enriching session where we not only seek to grasp the assurance of our justification but also understand the responsibilities that come with it. Remember, being justified is a privilege that calls us into a deeper pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus.
