现今子已当作义赐给信徒。这位满足神的子，蒙神悦纳的子，已经赐给祂的信徒，作他们的义。如今子自己就是我们的义。因着祂自己要成了我们的义（林前一30），所以耶利米二十三章六节曾豫言说，祂要称为“耶和华我们的义。”
信徒在子里得称义，并且有子作他们的义。既然神已将子赐给信徒作他们的义，他们也就在子里面，在神面前得称义。惟有在作我们义的子里面，我们才被神称为义。
信徒已经从魔鬼这罪的源头得了释放。魔鬼是罪的源头；子在肉体里，在十字架上已经废除了魔鬼（来二14）。藉着信入子，我们就从罪的源头得着释放。
罪、义和审判这三项，乃是福音的概要。福音就是：我们在亚当里是罪人，但我们在基督里成为义的，并且被称为义。我们若不愿从亚当迁入基督，就将与撒但同受审判。每当我们传福音时，我们必须告诉人这些事。藉此，圣灵使罪人知罪自责、悔改，并且信入主耶稣，以至得救。

Now the Son as righteousness is given to the believers. The satisfying Son, the accepted Son, the Son who has satisfied the Father and has been accepted by him, has been given to his believers as their righteousness. The Son himself is now our righteousness. Since he himself was to become our righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30), it was prophesied in Jeremiah 23:6 that He would be called “the Lord our righteousness”.
The believers are justified in the Son and with the Son as their righteousness. Since the Son has been given to the believers as their righteousness, they are justified in him before God. It is only in the Son as our righteousness that we are justified by God.
The believers have been freed from the source of sin, the devil. The devil is the source of sin, and the Son in the flesh destroyed the devil on the cross (Heb. 2:14). By believing in the Son we are freed from the source of sin.
The three items of sin, righteousness and judgment are a sketch of the gospel. The gospel is that we are sinners in Adam, but that we can be righteous and justified in Christ. If we are unwilling to be translated from Adam into Christ, we must be warned that we shall share the judgment with Satan. Every time we preach the gospel we must tell people about them. This is the gospel whereby the Holy Spirit convinces sinners to repent and to believe in the Lord Jesus in order to be saved.
