Justified means "made righteous". God remembers our sins and lawless deeds no more. God looks at how good we are. Jesus has made us so righteous and there is value in us. We are righteous not by our works and our filthy right action / behaviour but as righteous as Jesus is. We have the righteousness of Jesus that God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us.
God only sees us glorious, full of the glory of Jesus, because we have the righteousness of God in us.
God's favour never expires. Those He called, He justified. Those He justified, He also glorified.
Glory is the goodness of God. We have to begin to see the way God sees. We have the abundance of Grace and the gift of righteousness. We reign by One Christ Jesus; just by Him alone.
God favours us. We are righteous and the beloved of God. We are the head; we are achievers. Do not lose your sense of righteousness. Do not be self-conscious and self-reliant because we end up being self-condemned.
Let us have a bold consciousness of our righteousness. We are all righteous. Let us rise up boldly and be conscious of it and we can reign.
Grace is not a licence to sin. It is the answer to sin. The root of sin is that we have such a small opinion of God. We think God cannot, so we take things into our own hands and end up sinning. When we have a big view of God, we do not have to sin.
We have aggressive blessing. When things are in God's hands, we are blessed. God has already forgiven us. The moment we belong to God, when we sin, God wants to rush in and give us unmerited favour. Favour and Grace are God's resources at Christ's expense. God's resources come into the situation.
Repentance means "return to God's Grace". We turn to God and receive His unmerited favour. We receive all God's resources that God gave to us at Christ's expense.
We do not need anyone to give us favour. God can put us right at the top!
No more unforgiven sin! We are righteous by the blood and not by our works. We are righteous with the righteousness of God in Christ. We are receiving God's glory in increasing measure.
