(Isaiah 49:8; 61:2) Any one coming to the Lord Jesus with an honest desire to be presented to the Father in the acceptable year or time may be assured that he will not be cast out, because Jesus said: "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out".

(John 6:37) He would not decline to present any genuine consecration before the heavenly Father.

Of course this consecration must be made before the person can be presented.
[331]Jehovah God is the great wise judge of the universe; and he sits to determine whether or not one thus presented is right or not.

"It is God that justifieth."-- Romans 8:33.
[332]The steps essential now to justification, as shown by the Scriptures, briefly stated, are these: (1) Faith in God and his promises, which is exercised and proven by making a surrender of ourselves to the Lord; (2) receiving the merit of Christ, and his presentation to the Father; and (3) the determination by Jehovah God that the one thus presented is right.

The following Scriptures show these points in the order named: By faith are we justified (Romans 5:1); by the blood of Jesus are we justified (Romans 5:9); "It is God that justifieth".
