<p>How can God be Just and be the Justifier of those who put faith in Jesus? How could I declare that I am justified? How could God see me “Just as if I’d never sinned?” It is through the process of justification based on the imputation of Christ’s (God’s own) righteousness to the believer and the sinner’s sin nature to Christ. At this exchange 2000 years ago, Christ became sin for us and we became the righteousnesses of God.</p>

<p>Jesus was raised from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God and because He is seated at the right hand of God at this present moment, I can be assured of my right standing before God.</p>

<p>Let your heart grip this truth: IN CHRIST, YOU FOREVER STAND JUSTIFIED BEFORE A HOLY GOD.</p>
