“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1)
The Bible lets us know that Jesus wasn’t only delivered on account of your sins, He was also raised for your justification(Romans 4:25).
To be justified means to be declared not guilty; that is, to be declared righteous. Thus, in the eyes of God, you never sinned.
There’s a difference between justification and forgiveness. The Apostle Paul, in the opening verse, wasn't talking about forgiveness, or remission. He was talking about justification – to be declared not guilty. The Bible says God justifies the ungodly: “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). You might be wondering, “How could that be?” Simple, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The new creation is a new being; a brand new species that never existed before. Thus, he has a clean slate as it were, for he is without a past. That’s why God declared him “not guilty” because there’s nothing to judge. Praise God!
