Thanks to God's work, we can now reject the experience of guilt. Despite appearing worse off than the world, we are no longer trapped in such a deep pit. We receive a proclamation that surpasses our best moments, and even more blessings arise from our trials. In this, we lament the destructive forces that have engulfed the world. Christ has resolved the issue of sin in our lives, allowing us to have a meaningful relationship with God from His perspective of the entire world. As the world is bound by the everlasting consequences of sin, God sees us as exempt from the judgment of sin. We are no longer able to sink as low as the world, as the standard of righteousness is unattainably high for us, ensuring our protection from judgment. This is why God not only dealt with our sin but also took care of the repercussions of sin. The strategy for conquering sin has been reversed. We now overcome sin by receiving God's favor even in our moments of weakness and vulnerability to sin. God regards us with blessings, while those trapped in the depths of sin only see the world through a lens of curses. Through His proclamation of our righteousness, God blesses us and makes us righteous. We are distinct solely because of God's declaration. Even when we face adversity, we are not associated with the profound sorrows experienced by others. Although we may encounter difficulties, God is truly pleased with us.
