What the Bible says about Vindication
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Romans 5:6 Without strength means "powerless." Before our justification by Christ's sacrifice, we had no way to appeal to God for vindication. In our guilt, we could not stand before Him, just as Job and Bildad said. God had all the cards in His favor. We were powerless before Him. John W.
