Did you know that Noah was a "just man"?
Did you know that Jesus' adopted father Joseph was a "just man"?
Cornelius, the Centurion, was a "just man" and devout before God.
The Bible teaches that the "just shall live by faith". So what is Justification? How does God "justify" a man? Did you know that Justification is an audible declaration made by God? Justification speaks "Pardon" to the human soul. Why? Because of man's faith in God...especially things that pertain to Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
Isa 53:11...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Just men of old looked forward to God's Promises made about Christ, the son of God according to the flesh. Prophecies were given about the seed of a woman. Prophecies were given about "thy seed" which was Christ. Men of old had "hope" for the coming Messiah that was promised to them by God. Faith in such allowed them to be made "just" through God's Divine favor. God's Divine favor was His hand extended to men of faith. God spoke! God ministered! God promised? God's Word was recorded by writers! God speaks pardon to the human soul. Pardon allows men to be made righteous as a result of God's Divine favor. Divine favor is the mighty hand of God enxtended of "all" men of faith.
Isa 53:11...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Just men of the New Testament see Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Christ. Just men of Grace know Christ through the Holy Spirit's presence! God speaks pardon to the human soul through the work of Christ from the Throneroom. God's witness speaks pardon because of the precious blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for you and I. The precious blood of Christ speaks pardon, pardon, pardon!
Heb 12:24...And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
