Justification by faith - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1

Justification by faith
I have been justified by faith from God. This is not due to any merit on my part, but only to grace from God. Because I believed that Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive my guilt, God has justified me. Now I stand before Him as if I had never sinned. Therefore I have peace with God.

I know that all my sins have been blotted out by the blood of the Lord Jesus. As a result, there is no longer any question between God and me regarding my sins. Everything has been put right. This certainty gives me settled peace.

In justifying me, God has not only acted graciously but also justly. He cannot punish sins twice. Because the Lord Jesus has already borne my punishment, God’s justice has demanded that I be acquitted through faith in the Saviour. Thus, the peace of my conscience rests on a righteous foundation.

With regard to my sins, God is the supreme and final authority to pass judgment. If He has acquitted me of my guilt and justified me, no one can raise an objection to it. Therefore, any doubt that begins to arise in my heart must give way before the Word of God and make room for peace.
