justifier_ of him that hath faith in Jesus."--Rom. 3:26). In Lev. 16:21, 22, God gives us a picture, foreshadowing the Saviour, of laying the sins on the substitute: "And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him _all_ the iniquity of the children of Israel, and _all_ their transgressions, even _all_ their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him _all_ their iniquities." "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh [or beareth] away the sins of the world."--John 1:29. _But how many_ of our sins? Let God's word answer: Titus 2:13, 14, "Our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might _redeem_ us from _all iniquity_." Look at it again, reader; grasp its full meaning; let it be impressed indelibly upon your soul: "Our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might _redeem_ us from _all_ iniquity." Then as certainly as the believer is redeemed by Him, he is redeemed from _all_ iniquity; and as certainly as he is redeemed from all iniquity, that certainly the believer is going to Heaven, for there is nothing left that can cause him to be lost. Hence God, through Paul, has told us "By him every one that believeth is _justified_ from _all_ things."--Acts 13:39. If our Saviour Jesus Christ gave Himself for us that he might _redeem_ us from _all_ iniquity (Titus 2:13, 14), how can God be _just_ and _not_ justify every one that believes from _all_ things (Acts 13:39)? And if the believer is _justified_ from _all_ things (Acts 13:39), he is certain to go to Heaven. This is _God's plan_; this is God's will; "by the which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ _once for all_."--Heb. 10:10. "_For by one_ offering he hath _perfected forever_ them that are sanctified."--Heb. 10:14. "Nor yet by the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood entered in _once for all_ into the holy place, having obtained _eternal redemption_."--Heb. 9:12. Hence Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to life."--John 5:24. While thus is manifested God's justice, and the _only_ way that God _could_ be "just and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus" (Rom. 3:26)
