     The moment we become Christians this process of sanctification, the imparting of the righteousness of Christ, commences in us. That is one of the essential points Paul is making in these verses. {Romans 8:1-2} You can be certain, he says, that there is no condemnation, and never will be, or ever can be, because we are now under this rule and reign of grace. "Sin shall not have dominion over you, because you are not under law, but under Grace." Grace achieves what the law could not do.
(D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

    The law demands much from us which we cannot pay. Therefore, through Christ, God has done what we could not do. He has sent His Son to fulfill the law, and through faith in Him, we are justified.
(Martin Luther)

    The design of Christ's coming was, that by expiating sins He might satisfy God's justice, and that by purifying us by His Spirit He might render us pure and innocent. For Christ's victory over sin serves for this purpose, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.
(John Calvin)
