BIBLICAL EXEGESIS OF JUSTIFICATION BASED ON THE GREEK WORD “DIKAIOO” TRANSLATED "JUSTIFY"- A MAKING RIGHTEOUS WITHIN - PART 2
A further exegesis of the word "dikaioo" can be seen in Rom.5;1 where we are told BEING JUSTIFIED (DIKAIOO) BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD. This same "PEACE' that we are told is obtained by justification, we are told in Rom.8:6 is had within the Spiritual mind as opposed to within the carnal mind. I quote "For to be carnally minded is death but TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE ". Thus when one is justified by faith they obtain the spiritual mind which is PEACE with God as opposed to the carnal mind they had before. This is JUSTIFICATION-MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN. Furthermore Rom 8:8,9 shows that one either have the carnal mind or the spiritual mind, for we are told that the person who has not the Spirit of Christ or the Spirit of God dwelling in them is in the flesh/the carnal mind and is none of His (don't belong to Him), and has a mind that is at enmity against God and that is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be. Furthermore verse 10 tells us if Christ be in you the body (the body of sin as mentioned in Rom.6:6) is dead because of sin (being removed), but the Spirit is LIFE (which is placed in us and frees us of sin as mentioned in Rom.8:2) because of Righteousness. THUS JUSTIFICATION IS THE DEATH OF THE CARNAL MIND AND THE OBTAINING OF THE SPIRITUIAL MIND - MADE RIGHTEOUS WITHIN.
