justification
marriage is a good analogy of the relationship between a legal pronouncement and the practical outworking of it.the marriage ceremony,like justification,is a declaration that a new relationship has been entered.a man and woman,formerly unrelated,enter a legal contract that should change their lives.suddenly,they share possessions,they share the the same dwelling,and they look to the future as a time when their relationship will grow closer and richer.legally,marriage changes so much.on the other hand,a pronouncement of doesn't make the man and woman perfect partners in life.they have to stop thinking and living like single persons they need to start thinking and living like married persons.so too,once we have been legally justified by god,we have established a relationship that needs to be cultivated.the marriage analogy can be taken only so far because marriages don't last.but when god justifies us and brings us into a new relastionship him,he never divorces us.nothing can separate us from christ love.we fail him repeatedly,but he is committed to make the relastionship last forever,eventually making it perfect.remember,justification is based on what god has done,not on our works.just was thinking to past this on to my cs friends whom are still looking,play time is over.get real or just don't try,god bless you all and god bless the usa and heal our nation dondon
