"Justification" -2

"Stir up Thyself, and awake to my judgement, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord." (Psalms 35:23) If you stop your busy life long enough to sit and rest before God, you might just get a chance to understand what grace actually means to you; not just what grace is, or is all about, but what does God's grace mean to you; you that have been called of God for a specific purpose; you that He has snatched from the grip of hell, and has promised to never let go of you; you that He has loved, even before you were a seed in your mother's womb. The thought of being justified in Christ might begin to take on the life that it is meant to have, with grace being the door that let's you live to the fullest. Taking a look at this verse from the point of being justified in Christ, you might be able to see the other side of grace, that being the side that God knows and understands. We are the recipient of His grace, so it's hard for us to see the whole picture; but God, being the one who pours out that grace, He sees the complete picture, including why He does what He does. With that in mind, we can look at this verse as one that is studying God's grace upon their life, and the imagine asking good to fulfill all that He has established for our lives. Actually, I think it's safe to say that God wants us to ask Him for His help; as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure that He gets offended when we don't; maybe even to the point of letting us discover what happens when we don't. But, the really funny thing is, I think that God uses those misadventures for the good; taking that which was meant to harm us, into that which draws us closer and more secure in Him; isn't that what it is really all about? If you really want God to judge you, then you better make sure that Christ is on your side; and if you know that Christ is on your side, then you are justified in Him, and there is no fear of judgement; none whatsoever... "What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." (Romans 8:31-34) (That never gets old!!!)
