Justification (theology); the action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God.
Justification (law); When an act is justified, a person is not criminally liable even though their act would otherwise constitute an offense.
Zechariah 3:1
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.²And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?³Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.⁴And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
We are a royal priesthood, we have been called to stand before the throne of God and minister to Him and yet the accuser is also always accusing us of the sins that we (rightfully) do but because God has justified you, He clothes you with His righteousness and remembers your sin no more.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Our only problem as Christians (those that have not yet accepted this truth) is that when the accuser of the brethren reminds you of the sin (condemnation, guilt, unbelief) we accept what he is saying and we forget who we truly are.
We forget and leave the throne room a place where we are supposed to dwell simply because a liar, a thief (devil) has whispered lies in your ears.
John 8:10-11
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?¹¹She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Child of God the accuser, that one that is ready to throw stones at you has already been judged. Yes you fell but the word of God says the righteous man falls seven times they get up…
Proverbs 24:16
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Refuse to remain in the place where you have fallen because Christ says He does not condemn you, why then are you condemning yourself?! Get up dust yourself off and turn away from that which made you fall.
Am I promoting sin? No I am not but as a new creation I have come to the understanding that every record/charge proved against me, He canceled this list of sins fulfilling all penalties nailing it to the cross leaving me free of blemish.
Colossians 2:14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Prophetic Utterance
I am justified
I have been clothed with a garment of righteousness
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
