Justified means ‘declared righteous’. This is even better than innocent. If you are justified you can point to Christ at God’s right hand and say ‘I belong to Him, that’s why I’m righteous’. Innocent Adam could not do this. So, if someone wanted to condemn you as guilty, he would first have to condemn Christ as unrighteous – and this is impossible.
