“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Romans 5:1 (ESV)

This Bible study on Justification explores the difference between God’s justification and our human tendency to justify ourselves. Students will dive into the story of Moses at the burning bush, uncovering how his excuses mirror our own moments of hesitation, fear, and self-defense.

Through this lesson, learners will examine:

• 🔹 What is justification?

• 🔹 Why we try to justify our actions or inactions

• 🔹 Moses’ conversation with God at the burning bush (Exodus 3–4)

• 🔹 What our justifications reveal about our hearts and faith

A brief word study introduces the original Hebrew and Greek meanings of “justify” and “justification,” helping students understand the deep biblical roots of this concept.

Each lesson includes:

• 💬 A powerful quotation on justification

• 📜 A word study in Hebrew and Greek

• 🕯️ A clear introduction connecting Scripture and theme

• 📄 Two versions of each handout – one filled in and one blank for student notes

• 🧠 A Bible Study Reflection Sheet for personal or group application

Perfect for Bible teachers, homeschooling families, Christian schools, and adult Bible study groups, this resource encourages deep reflection on how true justification through faith transforms our actions, motives, and confidence before God.
