Justified

Just-if-I'd (Justified) never sinned! That's the true meaning of biblical righteousness - to be in right standing with God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us plainly that as born-again believer's we have become the righteousness of God in Christ. Because of the forgiveness of sins, through His shed blood, we are redeemed and declared righteous from ALL THINGS which we could not be declared righteous, apart from His redemptive work. This is our position in Christ and it's more than just spiritual. The effects of this right - standing or righteousness pertain to the soul, the body and our life here on this earth.
