Christ Jesus, as Covenant Head and Surety of His Sheep [All God's Elect given Him of the Father from everlasting], kept God's Law perfectly on their behalf. Thus they are Justified by imputation of His Righteousness to them, and their sins imputed to Him Rom. 4:6-8; 5:18-19; Is. 53:6.
John 17:4
I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
That is, He has accomplished their Justification: Their Eternal Salvation is guaranteed!
All God's Elect Covenant People Is. 45:17, were Justified by Christ's Obedience in His Life and Death for them.
So Christ's acceptance by God also included them Chosen in Union with Him; His Sheep, His Body the Church, the Israel of God, for they are all One In Him Heb. 2:17.

Amen, it's revealed to each one of God's Elect in the Gospel by God given Faith Gal. 5:22 when they are passively Born of the Spirit, Given New Birth Eph. 1:13; John 3:27.
Gal. 3:13-14
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal. 4:4-7
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Now Christ the Surety Head of His Sheep, Church, Gods Elect has perfectly obeyed every command of Gods Perfect Holy Law, in deed,thoughts and speech, in that unto them, its counted as if they did it themselves, because its imputed to their credit as an free gift of Righteousness Rom 5:17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ)
Its an gift by imputation, God considers it so, thinks it so, deems it so, pronounces it so Solely upon the Active Law keeping Obedience to His Law by Christ in their place and stead !

This redemptive Justification is apart from the redeemed believing it, or even knowing about it. They shall know about it one day in their lifetime when God is pleased to reveal it to them ! Hence the Just, redeemed shall live by Faith !
