Justification refers to how God sees us, not how others—or even we ourselves—see us. It is entirely a forensic (legal) matter; Colossians 2:14 declares that our “Certificate of Debt” has been “paid in full”: Tetelestai! This redemption was eternal and once and for all.
Hii kwa jumla ni jambo la kuangaliwa vile ilivyo (kisheria); Wakolosai 2:14 inasema ya kwamba “akiisha kuifuta” ile hati iliyoandikwa ya Kutushitaki kwa hukumu zake. “Imelipiwa kabisa” imekwisha! Wokovu huu ulikuwa na milele na milele wa mara moja na kabisa. Wokovu huu ulikuwa na milele na milele wa mara moja na kabisa.
