Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 6th – No Future Charges Against You!

(You Have Divine Acquittal And Peace With God)

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

LET’S TALK
The Bible says Jesus wasn’t only delivered to death on account of your sins, He was also raised back to life for your justification (Romans 4:25).

What does it mean to be justified? The word translated “justified” means to be acquitted and declared righteous; it’s to be declared “not guilty” or free of guilt.

Therefore, in the mind of justice, there’re no charges against you! The mystery of divine acquittal beats human imagination. How can a man be acquitted in an onward and permanent way?

How’s that possible? In natural justice, you’re only acquitted today from charges of past offences; you can’t be acquitted from charges of future offenses.

But it’s not so with God. Your divine acquittal covers past, present and future offences. There’s a badge on you everywhere you go that says “Acquitted!”

Read the opening verse again. It says, “Therefore, having been justified by faith…” (Romans 5:1). What is faith? The Bible says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

You don’t apply faith for what’s behind you, or what you already have with you. Therefore, “being justified by faith” means, from this moment, you’ve entered into the future with a divine acquittal. It’s the result of what Jesus did.

Now you can further appreciate when He said in Colossians 1:21-22: “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.”

You’re holy, unblameable and unreproveable in His sight. This is the way God sees you.

Why would anyone want to live in sin when they understand this truth? You’re too holy, too righteous, too clean, and too pure: this is what God has given you as a gift!

He declared Himself to be righteous in granting you divine acquittal for believing in Jesus: “To demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).

Pray:
Dear Father, what a blessing it is to know that I’ve been divinely acquitted of all charges. I walk in the light of my justification and reign over sin, Satan and circumstances. My life is an expression of your righteousness. I’m victorious all the way, serving you joyously without fear or condemnation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
