'Justifies' in the Bible
I will go down to see if what they have done justifies the cry that has come up to Me. If not, I will find out.”
Then the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, “What is [the reason for] this confidence that you have?
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
The One who vindicates Me is near;who will contend with Me?Let us confront each other.Who has a case against Me?Let him come near Me!
He wanted to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies anyone who has the faithfulness of Jesus.
However, to someone who does not work, but simply believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.
