Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
To be justified is to be rendered righteous being to be judged innocent. Our Faith in the work of Christ is also to Have faith in a finished work.
The work of Christ came with a substitution that vaporized your old being, You are mase a new being in Him, He took on Your sin nature and handed You His nature being the very life of God- Zoe in Greek.
Romans 5:17
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Jesus gifted You righteousness but many cannot accept this truth, the gift is given but we must accept it.
No man can receive righteousness unless it is divinely revealed to them by God’s Spirit.
When men grapple with this truth, it not because they have not seen it in the scriptures, but it has not been revealed to them in their spirit.
The power for salvation is the gospel being the death and ressurection of Jesus, pointing us back to substitution as we were spiritually dead and He gave us His life.
Romans 1:16-17
¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
A man of faith is one that access to divine truths, the Rhema/revealed word of God without which men limp. Even when they speak, it is not any different from a sounding gong. (Every gong is to communicate something, the listener must interpret what is being communicated) but many cannot hear God unless Gods spirit reveals it to them.
Beyond the revealed word and revealed righteousness, You are made the righteousness of God which is beyond knowledge but is now a nature not only in You but it is who You are now.
You are a new creature that never existed before- (You were dead in Sin but now have life).
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Prophetic Utterance:
Iv come to Gods marvelous light,
I am illuminated.
I am a Spirit manifesting the very life of God.
I am a Son of God, a true heir of salvation, served by angels.
I have found grace because it was handed to me and I received it.
Grace and Truth is revealed to me in righteousness.
I am the fragrance of God.

2 Corinthians 5:19-21
¹⁹To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
²⁰Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
