<\/h2>\nWisdom For The Day Devotional 5 February 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo \u2013 Christ Rose To Validate Our Justification<\/h2>\n
TOPIC:<\/strong>\u00a0Christ Rose To Validate Our Justification (TREM Devotional 4 February 2024)<\/p>\n \u201cWho was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our\u00a0justification.\u201d Romans 4:25 (KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n MESSAGE:<\/strong><\/p>\n A believer ought not to walk just empty. You must understand what you have. Jesus was crucified because of our sins. That was what happened on Good Friday. He was delivered to carry our past, present, and future offences on Him. On Resurrection Sunday, He was raised to ensure that we are justified. He was raised to confirm, authenticate, and validate our justification. Jesus had to rise as the hallmark of Christianity. There can be no Justification without resurrection.<\/p>\n And now that we are justified, we have peace with God. \u201cTherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:\u201d (Romans 5:1 KJV). If you are born again, God is at peace with you and not mad at you.<\/p>\n Not only that but we have also been given access by faith in Christ. We have been ushered into a new realm because of what Christ did. Christ\u2019s death, burial, and resurrection ushered us into this platform of favour.<\/p>\n Resurrection is so strategic and so important. It is the conduit by which we enter the In-Him reality. Resurrection had to happen; otherwise, you cannot walk in victory. It had to happen; otherwise, you will still be under the bondage of the devil. \u201cAnd if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.\u201d (1Corinthians 15:17-18 KJV)<\/p>\n Hallelujah! Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of the great harvest of all who have died. If He rose, then there is hope for every one of us.<\/p>\n FURTHER READING DAILY BIBLE READING Wisdom For The Day Devotional was Written by Dr. Mike Okonkwo<\/a>; Is the Presiding Bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM); a versatile man of God with over 30 years of dedicated service unto the Lord.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n
