March brings with it an opportunity for profound renewal and reflection, particularly in our relationship with God. As we dive into the theme of uncommon justice and spirit-led restoration, we explore the life-changing message found in Romans 5. This episode highlights the powerful concept of justification through faith, underscoring its ability to transform hearts and lives. 

Listeners will gain insight into the depth of what it means to truly have peace with God, understanding that by faith we gain access to His grace—a grace that empowers us to stand free from shame and fear. We uncover the three pillars of justification Paul speaks of: peace with God, access to grace, and the glorious hope that permits us to shine brightly, even amidst life’s challenges.

Join us as we encourage you to embrace this month with an expectation of transformation. As you step into March, remember you have peace with God and a renewed relationship awaiting you through the grace of Jesus Christ. If you’re ready to march forward with confidence and purpose, we invite you to engage with this episode thoughtfully, and we look forward to your feedback. Share your thoughts, subscribe, and leave a review to help us reach more souls inclined for God’s uncommon justice!

Speaker 1:

Greetings and praise the Lord. Welcome to the month of March. We thank God for his continued grace and favor over your life. We also thank God that he has been so gracious as to give us a word in season, a word that keeps us connected to his purpose and to his will over our lives in this year. This month, we are shifting to focus on the justice of God and therefore our sub-theme this month is the impartation of uncommon justice, spirit-led restoration.

Speaker 1:

Let's pick some words from the book of Romans, chapter 5, and Paul is talking about justification. This is what he says in verse 1 and 2. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand and we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Paul brings in this word of justification, talking about God's uncommon justice, and he says that we have been justified through faith, that when we come to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and by faith, receive him and welcome him into our lives as our Lord and Savior, then we are justified. When we put our faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross we receive God's justification. God is just and through his son he has given us his justification, so that there are three things then Paul is pointing out for us in this particular passage.

Speaker 1:

Things then Paul is pointing out for us in this particular passage, and Paul tells us now that we have been justified. The first thing is that we now have peace with God. Before we were justified, we did not have peace with God. The past did not afford us peace with God. The past did not even afford us peace with one another and even peace with ourselves. But now that we have been justified, we now have peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is our Lord and Savior. Lord and Savior, and therefore the past is taken care of, because Jesus' peace has now been imparted in our lives for us to be in a relationship with God.

Speaker 1:

But secondly, paul tells us not only do we have peace, but we have access. He says that we have gained access by faith into this grace, and so we have access into God's grace, and by this grace we stand. By this grace we are no longer bowed down in shame. We stand upright because God has given us his grace for us to stand in his presence. It is by grace, then, that we are able to come before the Lord with confidence this month, knowing that justice has already taken place and we have been reconciled with God, and this grace then gives us access into his presence.

Speaker 1:

But then, thirdly, paul tells us that not only do we have peace with God, not only have we been given access into his grace, but we also boast in his glory.

Speaker 1:

We boast in the glory now, we boast in the glory to come. We are no longer marred by our sin, we are no longer marred by our sin, by the filth of sin, but we are now shining. We are glowing in the glory of God, not only the glory in the present, but even much more in the glory that is to come. And therefore, as you enter this month of March, I want you to know, because of the uncommon justice of God, because of the spirit-led restoration that you have received through Jesus Christ, you have peace with God. What a gift that, with God now, there is peace. And this peace again gives us access into his grace. That gives us the opportunity to stand before him, to commune with him, to fellowship with him. But this grace also has covered us with his glory as we even look forward to the greater glory that will come into the future. So, this month of March, may you march in your peace, may you march in your grace, and may you march in God's glory. In Jesus' name, god bless you.
