Study of Romans

I. Justification
Are we justified by the Messiah’s blood or by faith or both, explain?

1. We are justified by his blood.

Romans 5:9 (KJV) 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

The blood of the Messiah declares us righteous (justifies us) therefore we are saved from the wrath to come. This is true because the life of all flesh is in the blood or flows through the blood. When an animal is alive and it has cancer or any disease then that disease is spread throughout the body by way of the blood stream. So if a person eats the animal with the blood then that person is receiving the disease from eating the animal’s blood and that is why we are told not to eat the blood. The fact is the blood carries all the impurities of the body through the blood system. When you eat it you will catch the disease and die early so YHWH says he will cut you off from among his people early with disease from eating the blood.
Lev 17:10-14 (KJV) 10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
The Messiah received the wrath of YHWH for us and paid the penalty for us breaking the Law of YHWH. The penalty for breaking the Law is death and he died in our stead or in our place.

2. How are we brought back (reconciled) to YHWH?
Romans 5:10 (KJV) 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Once Adam sinned, he transferred our allegiance to Satan therefore he made us all enemies to YHWH. Once his enemy, YHWH had to figure out a way to bring us back to himself. We were enemies to YHWH because we now had Lucifer as our spiritual father and not YHWH anymore. Adam made a huge mistake for the human race. Adam’s seed or descendants must suffer under the Law of our new spiritual father, Satan.
John 8:44-45 (KJV) 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
So we are born enemies of YHWH but we can become born again so we can get another spiritual father, even YHWH. But to do this we must get rid of Satan our spiritual father who we are married to. The only way we can divorce Satan as our husband is by dying to him or self our enemy, the old man.
Romans 7:1-3 (KJV) 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
We can see here that we can die to self or our old man so that we can be married to another even YHWY. YHWH cannot committee adultery with us if we are married to Satan, self or the old man of sin. Just as Adam volunteered to disobey YHWH we can volunteer to obey and accept YHWH in our lives and that is how we are born again. We then become dead to the Law of Sin because of the body of the Messiah died in our place.
