We are declared righteous. But the teaching of imputed righteousness focuses on identity, not faith. I don't think it's just about believing that it gets us to that high level of acceptance of God. I've always wondered why people present the Christian life as something that has been accomplished and therefore we can't do anything to improve it if we don't believe. I don't think there is a human being who really understands what Christ's standard of righteousness looks like.I also don't believe that people are showing the true reality of Christ's righteousness in this life. We could add other impossible burdens to helpless people when we just say the bar has been raised to a level we cannot reach. do we present it as faith is not reality, does it rely entirely on adding something important? And that should probably inspire us to be like Christ. One could compare this type of correct presentation to a building structure. Before being reliably delivered and declared correct, we look like the building needs repairs and painting, but when we are released, the building has been completely renovated and looks complete.But how can we carefully develop unparalleled freedom in Christ if we say our faith must rise to the proper level of this perfect vision? It seems to me that it just adds overwhelming weight. The key point realistically is that we undoubtedly remain the dark building that does not seem perfect, and the optimistic vision of its renewal is Christ's standard of righteousness that only Christ intimately understands. This is what the apostle claims when he makes a bold and inexplicable statement when he says "who will agree to accuse the chosen saints?" It would sincerely seem to me that I could plausibly produce a possible indictment if my personal faith were to rise to the ethical level of eternal justice. But in reality, no one universally understands this ideal standard and this is the main reason why no one on earth can stand a legitimate accusation. This is the universal problem that works to our advantage: if God universally held our sin against us, then no one would be found perfect. Therefore, we naturally come empty-handed to kindly receive the precise standard of eternal justice that functions to effectively generate something dilapidated in a city of gold. But in objective reality he seems to have a continuing need for complete renewal for all other men. This righteous identity invariably comes from Christ's perspective that we harbor extraordinary claims about ourselves that do not seem to be morally justified from the pessimistic perspective of all desperate men. You sincerely appreciate not that the bar has undoubtedly been stretched to an unattainable level, but that the bar has been lowered enough that all wicked men will simply offer no unnecessary excuses if every helpless man should stand before God in his righteousness.Yet only those who fondly know that the graceful building is out of date, that the official standard has been lowered, that they are prestigious trophies of eternal justice. The accomplished fact that the bar was immediately lowered unconditionally frees us from the moral weight of the impossible standard of eternal justice that only Christ adequately understands.
