Fruits of Justification
Peace with God
Justification · 5 verses
The immediate fruit of justification is peace with God. The enmity caused by sin is removed, the wrath of God is propitiated, and the believer stands in grace. This is objective peace—a changed relationship, not merely a changed feeling. The war is over; reconciliation is accomplished.
