After Darkness, Light

 (ID: 2839)

Justification means to be declared right in the eyes of the law. But how can God justify those who are truly guilty? We must look to the cross of Jesus Christ, where God executed perfect judgment by punishing sin. The faultless Son bore the punishment that we deserve. Alistair Begg reminds us of the truth that spurred the Reformation: justification is based on God’s work of counting our sins against Christ and crediting the righteousness of Christ to our account.
