Justified By The Resurrected Christ, Rom. 4:25. August 23, 1959. 

In this episode, the focus is on Romans chapters 3 and 4, particularly the theme of justification through the resurrected Christ. Gordon explores the biblical concept of justification, distinguishing it from forgiveness and examining its relationship with Christ's resurrection. While forgiveness removes the guilt of sin, justification is described as a transformative, positive declaration of righteousness through faith in Jesus.

Key theological points include:

• The insufficiency of works and the law to justify humanity.
• The imputation of Christ’s righteousness and the challenges of traditional theological views on this topic.
• The role of Christ's resurrection as the foundation for our justification and newness of life.
• A discussion on depravity, sin, and the limitations of human effort to attain righteousness.

Brother Olson reflects on the practical implications of justification, highlighting how the living, resurrected Christ transforms believers, enabling them to live in freedom, love, and devotion. The episode concludes with an invitation to embrace this profound relationship with Christ and live a life empowered by His resurrection.

This episode offers a deep dive into foundational Christian doctrines, encouraging listeners to explore the transformative power of Christ’s resurrection in their faith journey.
