The Power of Imputed Righteousness

The same voice that declared the universe into existence...
The same voice that declared the perfect holiness of the law...
The same voice that declared the seas to be still and they obeyed...

...declares that you are righteous and pure on account of Christ.

"Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:34-36

When God declares you forgiven. You are forgiven with the voice that said, "Let there be light" and there was light.
