Section 18

people on the earth? If God is right, why is there no justice among the nations?" They admit that there is God, but claim that He is not righteous. Many of us can testify the same thing, confess ing that we thought God was wrong, that He was not righteous. However, God has been patient with us, doing many things for us until He fi nally convinced us of His righteousness. Who justified whom first? We first justified God. When we were convinced by God of His right eousness, we justified Him and wept in repen tance, saying, "God, forgive me. I'm so sinful and unclean. I need Your forgiveness." When we called on the name of the Lord Jesus, we were put not only into Christ but also upon Christ. Now we are upon Christ as our propitiation place where God and we can justify one another. Firstly, we approved God; then God approved us. We justified God; then God justified us. All this happened upon Christ as the propitiation place. Under Him the law is covered and upon Him the cherubim are joyous when they see the mutual justification that occurs upon Him as the propitiation cover.

Where are we now? We are on Jesus Christ as the propitiation place. We are on the propiti ation cover. The law is under our feet, and the

glory of God over our head is satisfied. The law has been silenced; it can no longer speak against us, but the glory of God can rejoice over us with satisfaction. Here upon the propitiation cover we enjoy God's full justification. Thus, justification brings us to God and even into God where we may have the full enjoyment of God.
