How does being in Christ affect a believer's standing before God?

Answered in 1 source

Being in Christ means that believers are no longer condemned and are fully accepted by God due to Christ's righteousness.

For believers, being in Christ fundamentally changes their standing before God. Romans 8:1 states that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This signifies that in Christ, all judgment against sin has been satisfied through His sacrifice. Believers are counted as righteous in God's sight, not because of their own deeds but because they wear the perfect righteousness of Christ, as noted in Philippians 3:9. This acceptance is permanent and secure, empowering believers to live in freedom and joy, knowing they are loved and redeemed creatures of grace.
