ROMANS—NOTE ON Romans 4:25 raised for our justification. Both the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ are necessary for forgiveness of sins and justification. When God raised Christ from the dead, it showed that he accepted Christ’s suffering and death as full payment for sin. At the cross, God had directed his wrath against Christ, but now, in the resurrection, God showed his favor to Christ and to all who would believe in him. This can be true because all who believe in Christ are united with him (see Romans 6:6, Romans 6:8; Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 2:12; Colossians 3:1).
