“Justification” may sound like a churchy word, but you’d be surprised at how much it affects your life.  We actually spend a lot of time seeking to justify ourselves in the eyes of others.  We want people to think we’ve done the right thing, said the right thing, and thought the right thing.  If they question our “rightness”, we get bent out of shape (even when, deep down, we know they’re right to doubt we’re right).  We care more about what people think about than what God thinks.  What would our lives look like if the only opinion that really mattered was God’s?  And what would our lives look like if we were convinced at the core that, because of the “rightness” of Jesus, God is pleased with us and approves of us?
