“所以，我们既然因信称义，就藉着我们的主耶稣基督与神和好。” – 罗 5:1（新译本）
称义是神的法律行动。这是在神设立的法庭上完成的，也发生在我们的生命中，都是因着耶稣成就的工作。称义是充分的、不改变的。新入门的信徒和最老练、最忠实的信徒一样可以被称义。
保罗在罗马书5:1教导我们有关称义的四个重要真理。
首先，神是称义的发起者。我们得以称义，不是因自己的美德，乃是因基督的美德。
第二，我们因信称义。故此，信心是我们称义的管道。
第三，称义的果子就是我们与神和好。我们与神和好，获得重生，进入神的家。
第四，称义的中保是我们的主耶稣基督。所有这些属灵的祝福都是藉着拯救我们的主耶稣基督赐给我们的。
基督是我们的义。祂是我们的平安。我们在祂里面有丰盛的救赎。
祷告
主啊，神啊，信靠基督的义使我称义，使我心里平安，心得安慰。我蒙救赎不在于我，而在于你。奉耶稣的名，阿们。
罗马书5:1-5
1我们既因信称义，就藉着我们的主耶稣基督得与神相和。
2我们又藉着他，因信得进入现在所站的这恩典中，并且欢欢喜喜盼望神的荣耀。
3不但如此，就是在患难中也是欢欢喜喜的。因为知道患难生忍耐，
4忍耐生老练，老练生盼望，
5盼望不至于羞耻，因为所赐给我们的圣灵将神的爱浇灌在我们心里。
Justification, An Act Of God
“Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Romans 5:1
Justification is a legal act of God. It is accomplished in God’s court and applied to our lives, all because of the finished work of Jesus. Justification is complete and final. The newest believer is just as justified as the most seasoned, faithful believer.
Paul teaches us four important truths about justification in Romans 5:1. First, God is the author of justification. We are justified not on the basis of our merits but because of the merits of Christ.
Second, we are justified through faith. In this way faith is the instrument of our justification.
Third, the fruit of justification is that we have peace with God. We are reconciled to God and reborn into the family of God.
Fourth, the agent of justification is our Lord Jesus Christ. All of these spiritual blessings are granted to us through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Christ is our righteousness. He is our peace. In him we have abundant redemption.
Prayer
Lord and God, trusting in the righteousness of Christ for my justification brings peace and comfort to my heart. My salvation depends not on me but on you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
