When the situation is viewed in terms of a law court, one might speak of the accused party as being acquitted. But the term preferred in the New Testament, especially in the apostle Paul's writings, is the more positive word justified. Paul goes on to the limit of daring in speaking of God as "Him who justifies the ungodly" <Rom. 4:5>. God can be so described because "Christ died for the ungodly" <Rom. 5:6>. Those who are united by faith to Him are "justified" in Him. As Paul explained elsewhere, "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" <2 Cor. 5:21>. The work of Christ, seen from this point of view, is to set humanity in a right relationship with God.
