I do background checks and drug screenings as a part of my job. God chose to use this as a teaching point for "imputed righteousness." See I take the information of a candidate and input it into the screening program of a system that tracks all kinds of records for citizens. It tracks criminal, driving, and financial activity that could be detremental to a company's welfare and provides it to them. All the records are available you punch in the name and up comes the information about the person.
When we confess and believe God deletes the record we have collected, and then "uploads" the information of His Son onto our account. So that when He or anyone else accesses our record they will only see the record of His Son. Marvelous, simply marvelous. That means there is no longer anything to be ashamed of; the past has been erased, the present righteous, and the future only goodness, faithfulness, and joy. Paul tells the Romans, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." If you do a background check on me, all you see is Him.
