I Corinthians 6:11
"But ye are justified in the name"
"Of the Lord Jesus, and by"
"The spirit of our God"
No heavy hand of judgement will God put upon His children. Why not? Because they (we) have been justified. "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of God" (I Corinthians 6:11). Justification means a withholding of the punishment which is rightly deserved. It cancels out sin and it forgives. But it means much more than that. There's a positive side to justification. Not only does God refrain from giving what is deserved, but he gives something that isn't deserved "righteousness "And We Get This To"!!!!!!
Righteousness means measuring up to the will of God. It means uprightness, virtue, moral and spiritual correctness. But how can a person reach that condition,; well they (we) can't by ourselves. The Bible has no kind words to say about the righteous that man presents on his behalf. A person may clothe himself in a robe of self-righteousness, but the Bible calls such garments "filthy rags". That sometimes raises the question: how can sinners who have not one single thing to boast of enjoy the righteousness that belongs uniquely to Christ? Here is how: "Only God gives it to us! And that is exactly what He does." "Christ, is made unto us, righteousness" (I Corinthians 1:30). God takes all the perfection that belongs to His Son and gives it to those whom He justifies. But there is one thing that people have to do in order to enjoy the benefits of justification; they have to believe. Now that we are saved by the blood of "Jesus Christ" and by "God" "Justified" and made unto "Righteousness"
