1
God our Father, we adore Thee,
  For the sake of righteousness;
Thou in Christ hast justified us,
  Who our conscience can depress?
Thou art righteous, and art faithful,
  On Thy righteousness we stand;
No unrighteousness is in Thee,
  None can turn Thy righteous hand.
2
Thou hast laid our sins on Jesus,
  By Thy justice He was killed;
All Thy holy law’s requirements
  For Thy justice He fulfilled.
Recompense from Him receiving,
  Thou art fully satisfied;
How couldst Thou, O God most righteous,
  Claim it once more from our side?
3
Father God, Thou hast accepted
  Jesus as our Substitute;
Judged the Just One for the unjust,
  Couldst Thou change Thy attitude?
As a proof of perfect justice,
  At Thine own right hand He sits;
He, as Thy full satisfaction,
  Righteously Thy need befits.
4
Father, through the blood of Jesus
  We possess Thy righteousness;
By Thy righteousness protected,
  None can shake our stedfastness.
Righteousness of Thine Thou mad’st us,
  None can ever us condemn;
We’ll forever testify this
  In the new Jerusalem.

I adore Thee.

The proof of God's justification is the resurrected Christ (4:22-25). I like the hymn which says,

Father God, Thou hast accepted

Jesus as our Substitute;

Judged the Just One for the unjust,

Couldst Thou change Thy attitude?

As a proof of perfect justice,

At Thine own right hand He sits;

He, as Thy full satisfaction,

Righteously Thy need befits.

Thus, the resurrected Christ who sits at the right hand of God is the evidence that we have been justified. The redeeming death of Christ as the ground for God to justify us has been fully accepted by God, and Christ has been resurrected from the dead as a proof of this. This is the proof of the justification God has given us.

The death of Christ has fully fulfilled and satisfied God's righteous requirements, so that we are justified by God through His death (3:24). His resurrection is a proof that God is satisfied with His death for us and that we are justified by God because of His death and in Him, the resurrected One, we are accepted before God. Not only so, but, as the resurrected One, He is also in us to live for us a life that can be justified by God and is always acceptable to God. Therefore, Romans 4:25 says that He was raised because of our justification.

2) "...concerning righteousness, because I [Christ] go to the Father" (John 16:10).

Christ's ascension to the Father in heaven after He was resurrected is also a proof of our justification, even as the third stanza of Hymns, #20 says:

Father God, Thou hast accepted

Jesus as our Substitute;

Judged the Just One for the unjust,

Couldst Thou change Thy attitude?

As a proof of perfect justice,

At Thine own right hand He sits;

He, as Thy full satisfaction,

Righteously Thy need befits.

Christ's resurrection, ascension, and being seated at the right hand of God are a proof of our justification by God, confirming that God has justified us because of Christ's death, which satisfied God's righteous requirements.
