Justified Faith

     Justified Faith is believing that God makes you righteous through Jesus.  You understand that works are a gift to God that stems from love, not fear, obligation, or tradition.  The person that understands this concept can live with more ease in their heart because this person knows that God forgives their sins (no matter how big in their own eyes).
     If you have been adopted into God's family, then you are blessed.  It has nothing to do with what you have or have not done.  He chose you and you accepted Him.  It is that simple.  You understand that the law means nothing without faith because the law invites the wrath of God.  The wrath of God comes from the law revealing how you are a sinner.  Faith is what washes that sin away forever.      
     Abraham is whom introduced justified faith to us.  You see that he was not perfect, but he became the father of faith because his own faith never wavered.  He glorified God in everything.  His relationship with God shows us that God never breaks his promises no matter what.
     Jesus made all this possible by introducing grace to people in a whole new way.  He is what gives faith meaning and purpose.  Abraham helped breach a gap, but Jesus justified everyone whom has faith.
