Definition of Justification

Justification:  an equitable deed; by implication a statute or decision: - judgment, justification, ordinance, righteousness.  It’s a righteous act or deed.  It comes from the root word thats translated justified in English, that means to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent: - free, justify (-ier), be righteous.  To render righteous or such he ought to be
2) to show, exhibit, evince, one to be righteous, such as he is and wishes himself to be considered
3) to declare, pronounce, one to be just, righteous, or such as he ought to be

Before mankind could do anything right or wrong God judged us worthy of His life, thats why He promised to decorate us in His life.  God did a righteous thing when He gifted the world His life through Jesus.  Justification is about God manifesting His life in the flesh of Jesus so He can give a testimony that declares mankind innocent from the accusation of the evil one.  Justification is about God advocating for mankind against the death thats in the world.  He wants to create within us a blameless heart, and the way He does it is by gifting us His life.  He wants to prove what He said about mankind being His children is true, so He gifts the world His life, so all who desire His life as a gift, can overcome the death in the world and death in the flesh, and appear as His Sons/Daughters.  

1Pe 5:8  says Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:   

The serpent; the devil; the accuser; the adversary uses death to stand against mankind.  The devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking those He can take from rest, by using the death and the tribulation and the lack in the world to uncover their nakedness and undress God in their sight.  The devil was standing against Jesus at the cross, seeking to devour him.  He pointed at the death of the cross and used it to try and accuse Jesus and accuse God in Jesus’ eyes.  

Death is the voice of accusation in the earth.  It tries to give a testimony against us.  If we see ourselves as separated from life and what is needed to experience life, what happens is an accusation comes to our heart through the knowledge that life is good and death is evil.  We know it’s good to have life and we know its evil to not have life.  If we see ourselves as separated from what we need to experience life, we interpret it to mean God isn’t there; what we need to partake of life isnt there, and our hearts will accuse us.  The devil will have something in us to take us from rest.  

The Amplified bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God put eternity in the hearts of mankind.  Even if we arent aware of this dynamic, on a subconscious level we know somethings not right if life isn’t present with us.  We inherently know we were created to partake of life.  That’s why we don’t like death.   No one has to teach us not to like tribulation we just know it’s contrary to us.  (Example of armadillo when camping).  

Anytime we encounter death and tribulation and lack in the earth it tries to testify to our hearts that we arent as we ought to be. 

God works innocence in our hearts by gifting us His life.  He bestows His love on us by manifesting His life in the body of Jesus’ resurrection.  He stores Himself up as an inheritance for us by raising Jesus, the Son of man, from the dead, having inherited the kingdom of God in human flesh.  He declares to us through the gospel we have an inheritance stored up for us in Him.  We partake of His life; We partake of Him; We partake of our inheritance, which is God Himself, by the faith that came in Jesus.  And the indestructible life of God abides in us; it dwells in us through the Holy Spirit.  It keeps our hearts blameless from the accusation that comes from the lack and the death thats in the earth.  The voice of accusation no longer has anything in us because the serpents death has nothing in us, on account of God having justified us with His life, by clothing us in the life of His lamb.  

It’s the life of God that works innocence in our hearts. Its the life of God that works in our hearts to acquit us of the accusation that tries to come against us from the death and the lack and the tribulation in the earth.  It’s His life given to us as a gift that keeps our hearts blameless in the day of temptation.  Possessing the Father’s indestructible life is the only thing that can persuade our hearts that we are as we ought to be.

Now, the justification that comes from God manifesting His life in the body of Jesus’ resurrection does more than just declare mankind innocent.  It declares the innocence of God.  I know it can sound strange to say God needed to be justified.  But, the serpent didnt just use the death and tribulation in the earth to accuse us.  He was also pointing at the death and tribulation in the earth to accuse God to us.  Satan knew if He could blaspheme the name of God in our hearts.  He knew if He could defile Gods goodness in our sight that would keep us from fully giving ourselves over into God’s arms.  You cannot give yourself over into another’s arms if you question their ability to care for your life, or you question the integrity in their heart towards your life.  God needed to be acquitted in the sight of mankind, so we could trust Him with our lives.  

Example of Eve

Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 

I know we’ve traditionally been taught the serpent was calling into question Gods word.  But, Hebrew scholars say this expression is an interrogative expressing surprise.  Satan isn’t questioning Gods word as much as He’s questioning God’s integrity towards Eve’s life.  

Is God really keeping this tree from you?  What kind of a Father would hold something of Himself back from His children.  Can God really be the Father you need.  Can He really give your life the kind of care it needs.  Can you really trust Him to provide you with everything you need to partake in life and godliness.  Look at how He’s keeping you from this tree thats full of wisdom and life.  Satan was accusing God to Eve.  He was calling into question integrity in Gods heart towards her life.  He was calling into question God’s ability to be the Father she needs.  

Just as the serpent accused God to Eve, by pointing to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  The death and lack in the earth tries to give a testimony against the integrity in God’s heart towards our lives.  It tries to testify against God’s ability to be the Father we need. 

Satan got it right to produce his death and the fruit of his death in mankind and in the earth, and then use that death as the voice of accusation against God.  The death the serpent infected the earth with through Adam gives a testimony in the earth that God isnt as He ought to be as Father; it tells us God isnt as He ought to be as the one who cloths with life.  The tribulation in the earth serves as the voice of accusation against God.  It serves as the accuser, asking us, will God really be the Father you need.  If God really is your Father, if He really has taken thought to give your lives the kind of care they need.  Where is He now?  Let Him come for you if He will have you.  

If all we see is death and darkness in the earth, it tells us God must be a deadbeat dad.  He must not have a desire to care for our lives, or He must not have the ability.  Either way God is not as He ought to be as the one who will Father our lives.  

God is justified from the accusation that comes from the death in the earth by manifesting Himself in the body of Jesus’ resurrection.  The resurrection of Jesus, is the manifestation of everlasting Father in the earth.  It’s God drawing near to us in our nakedness to cloth us in the life of His lamb.

Jesus prays in John 17 ….. Father glorify me, that I may glorify you.  Raise me, as the son of man from the dead; glorify my flesh with your immortality.  And that will justify you in the sight of mankind.  It will declare your innocence.  It will show once and for all that you are as you ought to be as the Father of mankind.  It will acquit you in the eyes of mankind, and they will see that you are as you ought to be as the one who will care for their lives.  When they see the thought you have taken to care for their lives in the body of my resurrection; that it’s exceedingly, abundantly above all they could ever ask or think, you will be sanctified in their hearts as Father.

We see a life that is without spot and blemish in the body of Jesus’ resurrection.  We see the sinless life that can give us the kind of care we need in the body of Jesus’ resurrection. We see the Father has given us His life as a gift, and that acquits Him in our hearts.  It declares the innocence of God in our hearts.   It objects to the testimony that death is trying to give in the earth, and it acquits God in our hearts.  It testifies to us that God is the Father we need.  We see the glorified Jesus, and we see the Father in our midst serving us with a life that is free from sin; that can never die again; that overcomes this world and the lack in the world.  And that gives a testimony that God is as He ought to be as Father.
