Hmmm...this is a bit timely, don't you think?

Got my hands on the Spring 2011 issue of the WELS Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly, edited by the faculty of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. In an article entitled "EXEGETICAL BRIEF: δια + The Accusative in Romans 4:24,25 - More Than 'For'" Daniel P. Leyrer said (p. 131):
"Why was Jesus raised from the dead (note the aorist passive ηγερθη in verse 25) by God the Father? It was 'because of our justification.' By using the word δικαιωσισ rather than δικαιοσυνη for the Lord's not guilty decree, Paul especially emphasizes the activity involved in God's declaration of innocence. Yes, the holy God actively declared sinners to be innocent for Jesus' sake, (footnote: Commonly called 'objective justification'), and that act of declaring not guilty caused Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday....
...Paul's use of δια + the accusative makes the case that Good Friday and Easter, rather than being conditioned upon our faith, are actually the bedrock events of our faith.
