Rom.8:31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who indeed can be against someone that God has justified? In other words, what opinion matters of human's if God justifies a person, what law, what rule, what doctrine changes God's justification of a person? Do you as a Christian's truly comprehend God's justification? Do you understand it is not by laws, rules, or doctrines that men have set up to justify themselves before other humans, that is, God's justification of us does not depend upon any human being judgment of us.

1Cor.4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self.
4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God. It is the blood of God's passover lamb Jesus Christ that justifies us before God and not man. It is God's provision by the blood we meet His legal requirements as the Almighty God. God is the creator, we are the created, we cannot teach God anything about life and how eternal life is given and sustained. What we can do as humans is act upon our faith in God's provision for eternal life.

When we human may tried to justify our actions before other human's becoming self-absorbed, proving ourselves as righteous in some questionable conduct being judged by another according to their rule of law or doctrine. We are saying; “look at my conduct, here is the reason I did what I did, I didn't actually break any rule, and here is why?” But are we justified before God by justifying our conduct before men?

No we are not, nor can we be, and this is the context of Paul's words here, Paul was not saying that a person could be justified in reading his words, or obeying the rule of law given to the Israelite, no! What Paul was stating was; if God has justified you who can stand against you, can those wanting to overturn the truth of Christ Jesus blood as the passover lamb of God, how can they stand against you in the Old Law removed by the same blood? Moreover, did Jesus Christ justify himself even when being judged as an evil doer by nation of Israel, and do you know why he didn't? Jesus Christ was justified by his works under the Old Law, because he was perfect, holy and guiltless, his works proved it beyond as shadow of doubt, he could not justify himself, because the very law of God justified him before God, and not man.

Moreover, do you understand that he Jesus Christ was the only one justified before God by His righteous laws and this is why he died and completed the law for us? Christ Jesus proved to be our passover lamb the blood of our justification not a rule or doctrine of some group. All stand justified in Christ Jesus small and great, if they sprinkle the blood of justification on their hearts by their faith in God's legal provision of Christ Jesus the passover lamb. Who then can stand against something so great that is called undeserved kindness?
