Romans 4:23-25 Part 2 of 2

The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness--for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

He was delivered over to death for our sins 

Isaiah 53:5-6  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Romans 5:6  You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8  But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 8:32  He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

2 Corinthians 5:21  God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

and was raised to life for our justification 

Isaiah 53:11  After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

Romans 3:24  ... and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:1  Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

Romans 5:16  Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

1 Corinthians 6:11  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
