If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your savior, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ’s character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.

than this, Christ changes the heart. He abides in your heart by faith. You are to maintain this connection with Christ by faith and the continual surrender of your will to Him; and so long as you do this, He will work in you to will and to do according to His good pleasure.

o you may say, ‘The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.’ Galatians 2:20. So Jesus said to His disciples, ‘It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.’ Matthew 10:20.
Then with Christ working in you, you will manifest the same spirit and do the same good works of righteousness, obedience. Steps to Christ, pp.62-63

The cross of Christ is the greatest eviEver since Adam and Eve believed a lie about God and lived out that faith (all the faith they had) God has been seeking to reconcile man to Himself. It is a complex problem, for the root of the alienation is that man chose to believe untruth. In the lapse of time, mankind has forgotten what truth is. In fact, our minds have become so dwarfed, darkened, and twisted, that it is very difficult to discern what the truth is. Yet, truth is at the very heart of the whole matter. There are several reasons why the solution must revolve around the issue of what is truth. God doesn’t change, hence His character remains the same; His character is expressed by His law, hence His law cannot change; His character is the foundation of His government, and that government is designed to protect the happiness of all His subjects, hence His government cannot change; He is a consuming fire to sin wherever found, hence sin and sinners cannot exist in His presence; for the happiness of heaven and the survival of pardoned sinners, all the redeemed must therefore accept and be conformed to the truth.
dence that neither the truth nor its claims upon man can be changed. “Had it been possible for the law to be changed or abrogated, then Christ need not have died. But to abrogate the law would be to immortalize transgression, and place the world under Satan’s control. It was because the law was changeless, because man could be saved only through obedience to its precepts, that Jesus was lifted up on the cross,” The Desire of Ages, pp. 762-763; cf. Matthew 5:17-18.
God loves us, and through Jesus Christ He is seeking to reconcile us to Himself, but it cannot be done by changing the truth. He cannot change who He is just because we don’t think we like Him the way He is. If we are to be happy in God’s universe, we must come to know Him, appreciate Him, and love Him just as He really is. That is why Jesus came to this earth—to show us the Father. See John 14:610.
And yet a problem remains: man’s infirmities. For man to be restored to the fellowship of angels and God in heaven and on an earth made new, he must be restored to the fullness of the truth in mind and character. But for man that is an impossibility.
Here we can capture a glimpse of the riches of the wisdom of God, that He has found a way to both preserve and defend the claims of His justice (the changing demands of truth), and at the same time provide a way of escape to weak, fallen mortals. The condition of eternal life is now just what it always has been—just what it was in paradise before the fall of our first parents—perfect obedience to the law of God, perfect righteousness. If eternal life were granted on any condition short of this, then the happiness of the whole universe would be imperiled. The way would be open for sin, with all its train of woe an misery, to be immortalized. “It was possible for Adam, before the Fall, to form a righteous character by obedience to God’s law. But he failed to do this, and because of his sin our natures are fallen and we cannot make ourselves righteous. Since we are sinful, unholy, we cannot perfectly obey the holy law. We have no righteousness of our own with which to meet the claims of the law of God. But Christ has made a way of escape for us. He lived on earth amid trials and temptation such as we have meet. He lived a sinless life. He died for us, and now He offers to take our sins and give us His righteousness.
