Today, I thought I would share with you the following quote on the resurrection from Jonathan Edwards. <\/p>\n
So Christ, our second surety (in whose justification all whose surety he is, are virtually justified), was not justified till he had done the work the Father had appointed him, and kept the Father\u2019s commandments through all trials, and then in his resurrection he was justified. When he had been put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit, 1 Peter 3:18, then he that was manifest in the flesh was justified in the Spirit, 1 Timothy 3:16. But God, when he justified him in raising him from the dead, did not only release him from his humiliation for sin, and acquit him from any further suffering or abasement for it, but admitted him to that eternal and immortal life, and to the beginning of that exaltation that was the reward of what he had done.<\/p>\n

And indeed the justification of a believer is no other than his being admitted to communion in the justification of this head and surety of all believers: for as Christ suffered the punishment of sin, not as a private person, but as our surety. So when after this suffering he was raised from the dead, he was therein justified, not as a private person, but as the surety and representative of all that should believe in him. So that he was raised again not only for his own, but also for our justification, according to the apostle, Romans 4:25, \u201cWho was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification.\u201d And therefore it is that the apostle says, as he does in Romans 8:34, \u201cWho is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
But that a believer\u2019s justification implies not only remission of sins, or acquittal from the wrath due to it, but also an admittance to a title to that glory which is the reward of righteousness, is more directly taught in the Scriptures, particularly in Romans 5:1, 2, where the apostle mentions both these as joint benefits implied in justification: \u201cTherefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
So remission of sin, and inheritance among them that are sanctified, are mentioned together as what are jointly obtained by faith in Christ, Acts 26:18, \u201cThat they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith that is in me.\u201d Both these are without doubt implied in that passing from death to life, which Christ speaks of as the fruit of faith, and which he opposes to condemnation, John 5:24, \u201cVerily 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 unto life.\u201d<\/p>\n
