The Blood of Christ
Justification by His Blood
Justified by Blood
Description
Justification is God's declaration that guilty sinners are righteous in His sight. This legal verdict is rendered on the basis of Christ's blood. Being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. The blood satisfies divine justice, paying the penalty our sins deserved. God is both just and the justifier of those who believe in Jesus—just because the penalty was paid, justifier because He declares believers righteous. The blood-bought justification ensures our salvation from wrath.
