Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born."

Cyberbrethen (Paul T McCain):
http://cyberbrethren.com/2012/08/26/the-beauty-comfort-and-power-of-the-doctrine-of-objective-justification/

“The doctrine of objective justification is a lovely teaching drawn from Scripture which tells us that God who has loved us so much that He gave His only to be our Savior has for the sake of Christ’s substitutionary atonement declared the entire world of sinners for whom Christ died to be righteous (Romans 5:17-19).
“Objective justification which is God’s verdict of acquittal over the whole world is not identical with the atonement, it is not another way of expressing the fact that Christ has redeemed the world. Rather it is based upon the substitutionary work of Christ, or better, it is a part of the atonement itself. It is God’s response to all that Christ died to save us, God’s verdict that Christ’s work is finished, that He has been indeed reconciled, propitiated; His anger has been stilled and He is at peace with the world, and therefore He has declared the entire world in Christ to be righteous." ---

"According to all of Scripture Christ made a full atonement for the sins of all mankind. Atonement (at-one-ment) means reconciliation. If God was not reconciled by the saving work of Christ, if His wrath against sin was not appeased by Christ’’ sacrifice, if God did not respond to the perfect obedience and suffering and death of His Son for the sins of the world by forgiveness, by declaring the sinful world to be righteous in Christ -–if all this were not so, if something remains to be done by us or through us or in us, then there is no finished atonement. But Christ said, “It is finished.” And God raised Him from the dead and justified Him, pronounced Him, the sin bearer, righteous (I Timothy 3:16) and thus in Him pronounced the entire world of sinners righteous (Romans 4:25)." ---

"Listen to Dr. C. F. W. Walther, the first president and great leader of our synod, speak about this glorious doctrine in one of his magnificent Easter sermons: “When Christ suffered and died, He was judged by God, and He was condemned to death in our place. But when God in the resurrection awakened Him again, who was it then that was acquitted by God in Christ’s person? Christ did no need acquittal for Himself, for no one can accuse Him of single sin. Who therefore was it that was justified in Him? Who was declared pure and innocent in Him? We were, we humans. It was the whole world. When God spoke to Christ, ‘You shall live,’ that applied to us. His life is our life. His acquittal, our acquittal, His justification, our justification….Who can ever fully express the great comfort which lies in Christ’s resurrection?"

"It is finished" Keith Green:

"Swallowed into earth's dark womb
And death has triumphed
That's what they say
But tried to hold him in the tomb
The son of life
Rose on the third day

Just look
The gates of hell
They're falling
Crumbling from the inside out
He's bursting through
The walls with laughter (hah!)
Listen to the angels shout

It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus christ
Has won it

His plan of battle
You know it
He fooled them all
They led him off to prison to die
But as he entered hades hall
He broke those hellish chains with a cry

Just listen to those demons screaming
See him bruise the serpent's head
The prisoners of hell
He's redeeming (oh!)
All the power of death is dead

It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus christ
Has won it

Just look
The gates of hell they're falling
Crumbling from the inside out
He's bursting through the walls with laughter (hah!)
Listen to the angels shout
(listen, oh, listen)

It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus christ
Has won it

It is finished
He has done it
Life conquered death
Jesus christ
Has won it"


Joh. 3:16 "Ty så älskade Gud världen att han utgav sin enfödde Son, för att den som tror på honom inte skall gå förlorad utan ha evigt liv." “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

Rom. 5:17-19 "Ty om en endas fall gjorde att döden fick herravälde genom denne ende, hur mycket mer skall då inte de som mottar den överflödande nåden och rättfärdighetens gåva regera i liv genom denne ende, Jesus Kristus. Alltså: liksom en endas fall ledde till fördömelse för alla människor, så har en endas rättfärdighet för alla människor lett till en frikännande dom som leder till liv. Liksom de många stod som syndare på grund av en enda människas olydnad, så skulle också de många stå som rättfärdiga på grund av den endes lydnad." For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous."

Rom. 4:25 "han som utlämnades för våra synders skull och uppväcktes för vår rättfärdiggörelses skull." who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification."

Matt. 28:18-20 "Då trädde Jesus fram och talade till dem och sade: "Jag har fått all makt i himlen och på jorden. Gå därför ut och gör alla folk till lärjungar! Döp dem i Faderns, och Sonens och den helige Andes namn och lär dem att hålla allt vad jag har befallt er. Och se, jag är med er alla dagar intill tidens slut."And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
