JUSTICE AND SANCTIFICATION

JUSTICE AND SANCTIFICATION

JUSTICE OR MERCY

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD AND NEW  TESTAMENTS

WHAT IS JUSTICE?
Lady Justice is most often depicted with her eyes blindfolded and holding a sword in her right hand, and with a set of scales typically suspended from her left hand, upon which she measures the strengths of a case's support and opposition.  Frequently, at least in one ancient culture, this was depicted with a set of scales on which she weighed a deceased's heart against the Feather of Truth. 

With God, I believe, the scales of justice means on one side of the 
scales is sin and weighing on the other side of the scales  
is the punishment.  Once the punishment is paid then the beam of 
the scales is balanced or righted and justice is done.

ROMANS 5 

16

The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification. kai ouc wV di enoV amarthsantoV to dwrhma to men gar krima ex enoV eiV katakrima to de carisma ek pollwn paraptwmatwn eiV dikaiwma 18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

5	These three Greek words in the above scripture and listed below all have a common "Greek stem" (dik) and have the same root meaning.  (The "stem" was the original word  other Greek parts would be added to tell the person and parts of speech etc.) ( dikaiwma ) translated justification  (dikaiwsin)  translated justifiied ( dikaiwmatoV) translated righteousness ROMANS 5: 5 Hope doesn`t disappoint us, because God`s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given to us. h de elpiV ou kataiscunei oti h agaph tou qeou ekkecutai en taiV kardiaiV hmwn dia pneumatoV agiou tou doqentoV hmin Verse 5 Hath been shed abroad  (ekkecutai). Perfect passive indicative of ekcew, to pour out. "Has been poured out" in our hearts. 6 For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly ei ge cristoV ontwn hmwn asqenwn eti kata kairon uper asebwn apeqanen Verse 6 For  (eti gar). So most documents, but B reads ei ge which Westcott and Hort use in place of gar. While we were yet weak (ontwn hmwn asqenwn eti).  Genitive absolute. The second eti (yet) here probably gave rise to the confusion of text over eti gar above.  In due season (kata kairon). Christ came into the world at the proper time, the fulness of the time (Galatians 4:4; Ephesians 1:10; Titus 1:3). I or the ungodly (uper asebwn). In behalf, instead of. See about uper on Galatians 3:13 and also verse Romans 5:7 here. ara oun wV di enoV paraptwmatoV eiV pantaV anqrwpouV eiV katakrima outwV kai di enoV dikaiwmatoV eiV pantaV anqrwpouV eiV dikaiwsin zwhV
	8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Verse 8 His own love (thn eautou agaphn).  See John 3:16 as the best comment here. While we were yet sinners (eti amartwlwn ontwn). Genitive absolute again. Not because we were Jews or Greeks, rich or poor, righteous or good, but plain sinners. Cf. Luke 18:13, the plea of the publican, "moi twi amartwlwi." 14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,   that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. JOHN 3:14-16 JUSTICE WAS EXACTED ON THE SUFFERING SERVANT--JESUS CHRIST ISAIAH  53:
10	Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.
11	He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities These four Greek words listed below all have a common "Greek stem" (dik) and have the same root meaning. ( dikaiwma ) translated justification  (dikaiwsin)  translated justifiied ( dikaiwmatoV) translated righteousness  (dikaiwsai) translated justify in the Isaiah 53:11 passage above (in the Greek Septuagint LXX).  This Old Testament was often used by Paul and other N.T. writers. JUSTICE IS DONE WHEN THE PUNISHMENT IS EXACTED FOR THE CRIME--SIN! FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD ROMANS 3:23  But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then,  being now justified by his blood,  we will be saved from God`s wrath through him  ROMANS 5:8-9 SOME 7OO YEARS BEFORE JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN, ISAIAH THE PROPHET WROTE THIS PROPHECY (The Isaiah scroll is a part, of the "Dead Scrolls". discovered in 1947) ISAIAH 53:2-11 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we didn`t respect him. Surely he has borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn`t open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he didn`t open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the disobedience of my people to whom the stroke [was due]? They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities." beginngtheword.blogspot.com

THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO SHOW US

THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO SHOW US

The ends of the ages like a curtain have come down to all of us.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:

1	Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;	Ouj qevlw ga;r uJma'ß ajgnoei'n, ajdelfoiv, o&ti oiJ patevreß hJmw'n pavnteß uJpo; th;n nefevlhn h\san kai; pavnteß dia; th'ß qalavsshß dih'lqon,
2	and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea;	kai; pavnteß eijß to;n href=3475>>Mwush'n ejbaptivsqhsan ejn th'/ nefevlh/ kai; ejn th'/ qalavssh/,
3	and all ate the same spiritual food;	kai; pavnteß to; aujto; pneumatiko;n brw'ma e~fagon,
4	and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.	kai; pavnteß to; aujto; pneumatiko;n e~pion povma: e~pinon ga;r ejk pneumatikh'ß ajkolouqouvshß pevtraß: hJ pevtra de; h\n oJ Xristovß.
5	However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.	ajll# oujk ejn toi'ß pleivosin aujtw'n eujdovkhsen oJ qeovß, katestrwvqhsan ga;r ejn th'/ ejrhvmw/.
6	Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.	tau'ta de; tuvpoi hJmw'n ejgenhvqhsan, eijß to; mh; ei\nai hJma'ß ejpiqumhta;ß kakw'n, kaqw;ß kajkei'noi ejpequvmhsan.
7	Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."	mhde; eijdwlolavtrai givnesqe, kaqwvß tineß aujtw'n: w&sper gevgraptai, #Ekavqisen oJ lao;ß fagei'n kai; pei'n, kai; ajnevsthsan paivzein.
8	Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.	mhde; porneuvwmen, kaqwvß tineß aujtw'n ejpovrneusan, kai; e~pesan mia'/ hJmevra/ ei~kosi trei'ß ciliavdeß.
9	Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.	mhde; ejkpeiravzwmen to;n Xristovn, kaqwvß tineß aujtw'n ejpeivrasan, kai; uJpo; tw'n o~fewn ajpwvllunto.
10	Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.	mhde; gogguvzete, kaqavper tine;ß aujtw'n ejgovggusan, kai; ajpwvlonto uJpo; tou' ojloqreutou'.
11	Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.	tau'ta de; tupikw'ß sunevbainen ejkeivnoiß, ejgravfh de; pro;ß nouqesivan hJmw'n, eijß ouJ;ß ta; tevlh tw'n aijwvnwn kathvnthken.
12	Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn`t fall.	w&ste oJ dokw'n eJstavnai blepevtw mh; pevsh/.
13	No temptation has taken you but such as man can bear. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.	peirasmo;ß uJma'ß oujk ei~lhfen eij mh; ajnqrwvpinoß: pisto;ß de; oJ qeovß, oJ;ß oujk ejavsei uJma'ß peirasqh'nai uJpe;r oJ; duvnasqe, ajlla; poihvsei su;n tw'/ peirasmw'/ kai; th;n e~kbasin tou' duvnasqai uJpenegkei'n.
14	Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.	Diovper, ajgaphtoiv mou, feuvgete ajpo; th'ß eijdwlolatrivaß.
15	I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.	wJß fronivmoiß levgw: krivnate uJmei'ß o& fhmi.

1  CORINTHIANS 10:                                                   ;

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
tau'ta de; tuvpoi hJmw'n ejgenhvqhsan, eijß to; mh; ei\nai hJma'ß ejpiqumhta;ß kakw'n, kaqw;ß kajkei'noi ejpequvmhsan. Were our examples (tupoi hmwn egenhqhsan). More exactly, examples for us (objective genitive hmwn, not subjective genitive, of us). The word tupoi (our types) comes from tuptw, to strike, and meant originally the mark of a blow as the print of the nails (John 20:25), then a figure formed by a blow like images of the gods (Acts 7:43), then an example to be imitated (1 Peter 5:3; 1 Timothy 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:7; 2 Thessalonians 3:9), or to be avoided as here, and finally a type in a doctrinal sense (Romans 5:14; Hebrews 9:24). To the intent we should not lust after (eiß to mh einai hmaß epiqumhtaß). Purpose expressed by eiß with the articular infinitive to einai and the accusative of general reference with epiqumhtaß (lusters) in the predicate

Now all these things happened to them by way of example,
tau'ta  de;   tupikw'ß sunevbainen ejkeivnoiß,
and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
ejgravfh de;          pro;ß nouqesivan hJmw'n,   eijß ouJ;ß          ta; tevlh tw'n aijwvnwn kathvnthken.

Now these things happened unto them (tauta de sunebainon ekeinoiß). Imperfect tense because they happened from time to time. By way of example (tupikwß). Adverb in sense of tupoi in verse Exodus 6. Only instance of the adverb except in ecclesiastical writers after this time, but adjective tupikoß occurs in a late papyrus. For our admonition (proß nouqesian hmwn). Objective genitive (hmwn) again. Nouqesia is late word from nouqetew (see on "Ac 20:31"; see also 1 Thessalonians 5:12,14) for earlier nouqethsiß and nouqetia. The ends of the ages have come (ta telh twn aiwnwn kathnthken). Cf. Hebrews 9:26 h sunteleia twn aiwnwn,  the consummation of the ages (also Matthew 13:40). The plural seems to point out how one stage succeeds another in the drama of human history. Kathnthken is perfect active indicative of katantaw, late verb, to come down to (see on "Ac 16:1"). Does Paul refer to the second coming of Christ as in Matthew 7:26?  In a sense the ends of the ages like a curtain have come down to all of us.
