THE GRANDEST FACT

KO E MO’ONI FAKATALUTALU

ROMANS 8:33

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

LOMA 8:33

Ko hai te ne talatalaaki ‘i ‘a e kakai kuo fili ‘e he ‘Otua? ‘a e ‘Otua koā, ‘a ia ‘oku ne fakatonuhia‘i kitautolu?

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko e Kalasi pe   

The grandest fact under heaven is this: that Christ by His precious blood does actually put away sin, and that God, for Christ's sake, dealing with men on terms of divine mercy, forgives the guilty and justifies them, not according to anything that He sees in them, or foresees will be in them, but according to the riches of His mercy which lie in His own heart. This we have preached, do preach, and will preach as long as we live. "It is God that justifieth" - that justifieth the ungodly; He is not ashamed of doing it, nor are we of preaching it.

The justification which comes from God Himself must be beyond question. If the Judge acquits me, who can condemn me? If the highest court in the universe has pronounced me just, who shall lay anything to my charge? Justification from God is a sufficient answer to an awakened conscience. The Holy Spirit by its means breathes peace over our entire nature, and we are no longer afraid. With this justification we can answer all the roarings and railings of Satan and ungodly men.
