This is for the person who believes
"in Him who justifies the ungodly."
Now see, that's where 
this thing is so beautiful.
He justifies the ungodly.
Wait a second!
You've got an ungodly person.
Do you recognize what justify means?
Justify means God Himself looks
and says, "Not guilty!"
And it says he's ungodly.
He's ungodly. He's guilty.
And God says, "Not guilty! Not ungodly!"
How?
What happens?
Okay, now you've got to turn really 
quickly over to 2 Corinthians 5.
2 Corinthians 5.
The very last verse.
This is one of the glorious verses
on the righteousness of God as well.
Look at it here.
2 Corinthians 5:21. Here's what happens:
"For our sake..." (that's the sinner,)
"He..." (that's God the Father)
"made Christ to be sin who knew no sin
so that in Christ
we might become the righteousness of God."
You see, the righteousness of God
is something we become.
It's for us.
How did it happen?
It didn't just happen.
God did not just sweep 
those sins under the rug.
He doesn't just say to an ungodly man:
"Righteous."
No, no, no.
That righteousness has 
to come from somewhere.
You see what happens.
There's Christ.
He comes into the courtroom.
God takes our sin
and makes Him to be sin.
He knew no sin. He has no sin.
And now we're free of it.
And we are the 
righteousness of God in Him.
This is it.
This is the truth.
