What does it mean that the righteous will not stand in judgment?

The declaration that the righteous will not stand in judgment, as stated in Psalm 1, signifies the assurance of salvation for those who are in Christ. Because of Christ's redemptive work, believers are seen as righteous before God, and thus, they will not experience condemnation. Romans 8:1 reinforces this by stating that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The judgment that awaits the ungodly is different, as they do not have the covering of Christ's righteousness and will face their sins in that final judgment.
