Romans 3:26 (NASB)
for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

“He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”

That the righteous demands of the law, towards the sinner, were fulfilled by God Himself on behalf of the sinner who would have faith in Jesus.

For the law of righteousness has a just and legal claim on all sentient beings before God. All creatures that have the ability to choose their own nature’s are subject to the same law of righteousness. Which law God Himself is subject to...This law of righteousness says, that without equivocation, all souls, high or low, that sin, shall die... Across the board, to all creatures the same, the soul that sins, that soul shall die...

So for God to be the just and justifier, He has to fulfill the law in each and every life...There was only one way that God could do this and that was if He tasted death for every man... And this is exactly what He did on the cross...By taking us to death with Him, He lawfully and legally fulfilled the laws demand concerning each and every one that would by faith be joined with Him in His death...Thereby freeing the one from the laws legal demand that the soul that sins should die....For it did die in Christ, so the law was and is satisfied with the one that has faith in Jesus.. Whereby God became the just and justifier of him that has faith in Jesus...

For Jesus came as a fulfillment of the law and by Him taking us to death with Him on the cross He fulfilled the laws righteous demands on us, thereby freeing us from the law... So we might serve in newness of faith not oldness of the letter.....For the law held us as children under it’s demands till faith was made manifest...Now that faith has been made manifest, faith is that that justifies... Thereby the free gift of salvation is to all that by the faith of their hearts turn their hearts to God and,

“have faith in Jesus”

So what does all this mean in real life, how does it play out and become real to us?

Scripture says; we are to reckon these truths so. We are told to have the faith of the heart reckon itself dead unto sin and alive unto God....

Our salvation and growing in it, is really that simple......By the faith of the heart reckoning itself dead to sin and alive unto God, on a moment by moment basis...For the soul that sees it’s need, shall find freedom from itself, in the reckoning of faith..

Be blessed in our salvation, which is from start to finish, by faith in Christ Jesus, Not me

This sounds a bit turned inwards or navel gazing or faith in faith.
Let me help...

May His love abound in us, as His Spirit teaches us all things, be blessed in the growing into Him.

As in....I believe I am...so therefore by my belief..I am. A kind of weird philosophy that seeks for a self-justification. If you say it enough ...you actually start to believe it.
