The new covenant is an exchange a person‘s-not a legal contract.
Jesus takes our sin, gives us righteousness, and by GRACE shares his own divine Sonship, making us children of God. The covenant act being justified means sharing in the grace of Christ as God‘s son or daughter, being sanctified means sharing in the life and power of the Holy Spirit.
God is not a judge. He is now our father. We are not criminals, We are runaways. The new covenant is not a courtroom, but a family room.
Justification is being made a child of God by Grace, being called to live life as a faithful child through faith, working in love.
