you know very well i have been agreeing with scripture that the new heart will do the good works God ordained that we walk in.
Romans 8
31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
33Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies
Romans 5
1Therefore,
since we have been justified through faith, we
a have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we
bboast in the hope of the glory of God.
3Not only so, but we
c also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been
justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
10For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
11Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
JUSTIFIED: do what you want with it.
τινα, to declare, pronounce, one to be just, righteous, or such as he ought to be, (cf. ὁμοιόω to declare to be like, liken, i. e. compare; ὁσιόω, Wis. 6:11; ἀξιόω, which never means to make worthy, but to judge worthy, to declare worthy, to treat as worthy; see also κοινόω, 2 b.);
a. with the negative idea predominant, to declare guiltless one accused or who may be accused, acquitted of a charge or reproach, (
Deuteronomy 25:1; Sir. 13:22 (21), etc.; an unjust judge is saidδικαιοῦν τόν ἀσεβῆ in
Exodus 23:7;
Isaiah 5:23): ἑαυτόν,
Luke 10:29; passive οὐ δεδικαίωμαι, namely, with God,
1 Corinthians 4:4; pregnantly with ἀπό τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν added, to be declared innocent and therefore to be absolved from the charge of sins (cf. Buttmann, 322 (277)),
Acts 13:38 (39) (so ἀπόἁμαρτίας, Sir. 26:29; simply, to be absolved, namely, from the payment of a vow, Sir. 18:22 (21)); hence, figuratively, by a usage not met with elsewhere, to be freed, ἀπό τῆς ἁμαρτίας, from its dominion,
Romans 6:7, where cf. Fritzsche or ((less fully) Meyer).
b. with the positive idea predominant, to judge, declare, pronounce, righteous and therefore acceptable, (God is said δικαιοῦν δίκαιον,
1 Kings 8:32): ἑαυτόν,
Luke 16:15; ἐδικαίωσαν τόνΘεόν, declared God to be righteous, i. e. by receiving the baptism declared that it had been prescribed by God rightly,
Luke 7:29; passive by God,
Romans 2:13; ἐξ ἔργων ἐδικαιώθη, got his reputation for righteousness (namely, with his countrymen (but see Meyer (edited by Weiss) at the passage)) by works,
Romans 4:2; ἐκ τῶν λόγων, by thy words, in contrast with καταδικάζεσθαι, namely, by God,
Matthew 12:37.
Especially is it so used, in the technical phraseology of Paul, respecting God who judges and declares such men as put faith in Christ to be righteous and acceptable to him, and accordingly fit to receive the pardon of their sins and eternal life (see δικαιοσύνη, 1 c.)
