Based on Romans 3:24-26
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Though as we have learned, we have sinned, and do not match God's standard; he is ready to declare us righteous (sinless) without us earning it at all because of the work Jesus did in his life, on the cross and is still doing in the heavenly sanctuary interceding for us.
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
God (the three divine persons in counsel) has decided on Jesus as the mercy seat; the sign of mercy which is obtained by faith in his death. This sacrifice justifies God's forgiveness of sins in the past that he forgave in his mercy for those that had faith. Also to justify God's forgiveness of sins to this day of those that have faith in Jesus.
Jesus sacrifice was effective for the future and the past, it is effective for today. Trust in Jesus and however bad the circumstances seem he will work things together for the best possible result.
