Bible Note: If following the Law doesn't lead to justification, then why were the Israelites commanded to follow it? Justification isn't salvation. Salvation includes justification, not the other way around. Jesus needed to be declared justified, meaning without sin, in order to be the sacrifice for sin. Paul points that out numerous times. Now, how was Jesus declared sinless? 1) Did Jesus have faith in his own pending death, burial, and ressurrection, and declared justified by the grace of God? or 2) Did Jesus follow the Law and God's will perfectly and declared without sin as a result? Remember, Jesus was both God and Man. Due to being divine, he was born without a sin nature. Without that sin nature hindering him, Jesus could continue on with a life in perfect adherence to the Law. Thus becoming justified. After living a life of sinlessness and perfect adherence to the Law, Jesus died as the perfect payment for sin. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
