God didn't wait for you to be good enough. He declared the verdict first — and it stands.
dikaíōsis · G1347 · GREEK
The Greek word dikaíōsis (δικαίωσις) is a legal term — it means to declare righteous — specifically a verdict spoken in the divine courtroom, not based on what you have done but on what Christ has done in your place, received through faith alone, not works, so the verdict is free and secure regardless of your record, with the stunning result that you stand before God as if you had lived the life Jesus lived — because His righteousness has been credited to you.
Which verse about dikaíōsis speaks to how you need to understand your standing before God today?
