"and was raised again for our justification"

[LeeLoving]

Romans 4:23-25
King James Version
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Does anyone know what this means? My only inklings of a clue are that 1) There was prophecy saying Jesus would be raised from the dead, so therefore Jesus would have to be raised from the dead for him to be the one talked about in scripture, therefore meaning it was imperative Jesus was raised from the dead for our justification because it validates who he is and it signifies that his work is true, authentic, actual, trustworthy. That Jesus was raised from the dead means we have been justified because it means he is who he is. My second one is the (I think) commonly held belief that it means he was sinless. That he was raised from the dead signified this and that meant his work was effectual because he was without sin.

I don't know if either of these things are true and was wondering if anyone had any insight on this?

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

I have wondered about this. The Greek actually says he "was delivered through (διά) our offences, and was raised through (διά) our justification."

G1223 διά dia (d̮iy-a') prep.
δι- di- (d̮iy-) [shortened prefix]
1. through.

διά sometimes conveys the idea of "on account of", so it could be saying that he was delivered on account of our offences and was raised on account of our justification.

In the first case man needed to be freed from his debt to God, which Christ's death accomplished; and in the 2nd case, though justified, man needed power to live righteously, which Christ's resurrection and subsequent intercession and gift of the holy spirit accomplished.

In other words, these were actions that God took through our condition and needs

Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross provided righteousness for all.

Yes, my insight is based on Scripture indicating that there are only two miracles necessary to believe in order to be saved:
creation per Romans 1:20, and recreation/resurrection per 1Corinthians 15:13-19.

One Article tells us this:

Writing to a church that was in danger of allowing false teaching to creep in, the apostle tackled the issue of what was at stake if we deny the resurrection. Beginning in verse 12, Paul raises eight “ifs” (following them up with some of the weightiest of all theology) in order to explain the significance of the resurrection for the life of the believers. Consider the following eight “ifs” about the implications of denying the resurrection:

In other words, these were actions that God took through our condition and needs

He came here to earth in flesh and blood through the virgin Mary to reconcile us all to himself as reconciled the message given us from the disciples. Reconciled is the same as forgiven (Eph 1:7)
2 Cor 5:17-20, so be reconciled back to God Father in risen Son for you, telling God Father, thank you, once seeing. you cannot be perfect as is required to be perfect from God to us all, revealed in the first testament.
Jesus, John1:29, either this is done presently by him or not! He is risen as proof, that the disciples all claim is done for us to be new in his risen Life to us all by God his Father for us since no other flesh but Son's flesh was/is perfect. (John 19:30) ask Daddy, Father, PaPa, what is finished? you will hear, whether or not you listen is up to you, Father God and Son love you unconditionally, at least this I see after many years of mistakes made and am still capable of doing the same being in a body not yet redeemed yet.
No flesh after the first Adam could ever be perfect, none, no one, but Son Jesus for us all.
God Father decided from day one to save us, seeing what the first Adam would choose, In unbelief to death, he ate from that tree of good and evil and awareness became real, and hiding began. He became as a god under God, and man has been this ever since of in the first born flesh nature. In need to be born again as new from God for them. It all began as do not eat from one particular tree and man, the first Adam ate anyways.
Death did not come to Adam the first right (Lived 930 years) away, yet death has come to us all born first of flesh and blood, each in need for the born new again life to become alive in Daddy's Spirit and Truth, thank you Father, for this gift, time to choose between God and you, not me or any other church here on earth, Between God and you personally
So, Son Jesus the only perfect flesh to walk earth did what was needed to get done, fulfilled Law (Matthew 5:17) then claimed it as done in John 19:30, and that was for us all to now choose to believe God in this and do new through Faith given us to do love and mercy to all too, in the risen Son, not the dead one that religion preaches to behave or you not in, Bull pucky!
See the Last Supper is not a get it right with God. It is in truth a celebration
That is it done for us to be given new life in his risen Life from Father in love and mercy to all, not just a few anymore, playing god

Thanks
