The verses I posted yesterday about Jesus Christ as our medatior reminded me of this explanation of the significance of Jesus’ intervention on our behalf. This is from page 46 of CJ’s Christ, Our Mediator:

“And what does Christ’s death mean for us–for all who turn from their sins and trust in this unique mediator?

“First, we have peace with God–the actual, objective reality of peace with Him, because His holy hostility against us has been spent against Christ instead.

“Second, we no longer face condemnation from God when our life on this earth is over. Every believer in Christ can know that the moment we pass from this world and stand before God the righteous Judge, the verdict to be announced in our case will be “not guilty,” by reason of the righteousness of Christ.

“With full assurance we can anticipate and even experience that verdict right now. Our lives here and now are transformed as we live today in the joyful light of that day.”
