Romans 4:25

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES, [ dia (G1223) ta (G3588) paraptoomata (G3900) heemoon (G2257)] - 'on account of our offences;' that is, in order to expiate them by His blood, AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION, [ dia (G1223) teen (G3588) dikaioosin (G1347) heemoon ...

25._Who was delivered for our offences_, (150) _etc. _He expands and illustrates more at large the doctrine to which I have just referred. It indeed greatly concerns us, not only to have our minds directed to Christ, but also to have it distinctly made known how he attained salvation for us. And though Scripture, when it treats of our salvation, dwells especially on the death of Christ, yet the Apostle now proceeds farther: for as his purpose was more explicitly to set forth the cause of our salvation, he mentions its two parts; and says, first, that our sins were expiated by the death of Christ, — and secondly, that by his resurrection was obtained our righteousness. But the meaning is, that when we possess the benefit of Christ’s death and resurrection, there is nothing wanting to the completion of perfect righteousness. By separating his death from his resurrection, he no doubt accomm...

23-25 The history of Abraham, and of his justification, was recorded to teach men of after-ages; those especially to whom the gospel was then made known. It is plain, that we are not justified by the merit of our own works, but by faith in Jesus Christ and his righteousness; which is the truth urged in this and the foregoing chapter, as the great spring and foundation of all comfort. Christ did meritoriously work our justification and salvation by his death and passion, but the power and perfection thereof, with respect to us, depend on his resurrection. By his death he paid our debt, in his resurrection he received our acquittance, Isaiah 53:8. When he was discharged, we, in Him and together with Him, received the discharge from the guilt and punishment of all our sins. This last verse is an abridgement or summary of the whole gospel....

Verse Romans 4:25. _WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES_] Who was delivered up to death as a _sacrifice for our sins_; for in what other way, or for what other purpose could He, who is _innocence_ itself, be _delivered for our offences_? _AND WAS RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION._] He was raised that we might have the fullest assurance that the death of Christ had accomplished the end for which it took place; viz. our reconciliation to God, and giving us a title to that eternal life, into which he has entered, and taken with him our _human nature_, as the first-fruits of the resurrection of _mankind_. 1. FROM a careful examination of the Divine oracles it appears that the _death of Christ_ was an _atonement_ or _expiation_ for the _sin of the world: For him hath God set forth to be a_ PROPITIATI

WHO WAS DELIVERED - To death; compare the notes at Acts 2:23. FOR OUR OFFENCES - On account of our crimes. He was delivered up to death in order to make expiation for our sins. AND WAS RAISED AGAIN - From the dead. FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION - On account of our justification. In order that we may be justified. The word “justification” here seems to be used in a large sense, to denote acceptance with God; including not merely the formal act by which God pardons sins, and by which we become reconciled to him, but also the completion of the work - the treatment of us as righteous, and raising us up to a state of glory. By the death of Christ an atonement is made for sin. If it be asked how his resurrection contributes to our acceptance with God, w

EXPOSITION ROMANS 4:1 (5) _Abraham himself shown to have been justified by faith, and not by works, believers being his true heirs._ The main points of the argument may be summarized thus: When Abraham obtained a blessing to himself and to his seed for ever, it was by faith, and not by works, that he is declared to have been justified so as to obtain it. Thus the promise to his seed, as well as to himself, rested on the principle of justification by faith only. The Law, of which the principle was essentially different, could not, and did not, in itself fulfil that promise; and that its fulfilment was not dependent on circumcision, or confined to the circumcised, is further shown by the fact that it was before his own circumcision that he received the blessing and the promise, Hence the seed intended in the promise was his spiritual seed, who a

WHO WAS DELIVERED FOR OUR OFFENCES,.... Christ was delivered into the hands of men, and into the hands of justice, and unto death; and he was delivered by men, by Judas, to the chief priests, and by them to Pilate, and by Pilate to the Jews and Roman soldiers to be put to death; and he was also delivered up by his Father into the hands of justice and death, according to his determinate counsel and foreknowledge; but not without his own free consent, who voluntarily laid down his life, and gave himself a ransom for his people: he was delivered to death, not for any offences of his own, for he committed none; nor for the offences of angels, for these were not spared; nor for the offences, of all men, since all will not be saved; but for the offences of all God's elect: he was delivered for these, as the causes of his death, and as the end for which he died; namely, to make reconciliation,...

Romans 4:1. _What shall we say then that Abraham our father as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?_ What blessings did really come to Abraham, the father of the faithful? What is the nature of that covenant of grace which God made with him? Romans 4:2. _For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God._ Certainly, before God, Abraham neither gloried nor yet was justified by his works. Romans 4:3. _For what saith the scripture?_ That is the question for us always to ask, «What saith the Scripture?» Romans 4:3. Abraham believed God, and it

RAISED Christ died under our sins (1 Peter 2:24); (2 Corinthians 5:21) that He was raised and exalted to God's right hand, "now to appear in the presence of God for us" (Hebrews 9:24) is the token that our sins are gone, that His work for us has the divine approbation and that we, for whom He suffered, are completely justified....

CHAPTER 4 _ 1. The Witness of Abraham to Justification. (Romans 4:1 .)_ 2. As Confirmed also by David. (Romans 4:6 .) 3. Circumcision the Sign of the Covenant. (Romans 4:9 .) 4. Faith in Him Who Raiseth the Dead. (Romans 4:13 .) Romans 4:1 Two witnesses are summoned next in whose lives the truth of justification by faith is illustrated. The Jews boasted of Abraham as the father of their nation. “Abraham our father” is still the common phrase used by all orthodox Jews as it was in the days of John the Baptist, as he declared, “Sa
