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

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
