I'm so glad right now that I stand righteous before God, and will forever stand righteous before him, because Jesus has been righteous in my place. I'm so glad...
that I'm not judged by my 'heart' and my 'intentions' - both of which are often wicked
that I'm not judged by how much compassion I have for people
that I'm not judged by how much zeal I feel for God
that I'm not judged by the strength of my faith
that I'm not judged by how well I love my wife
that I'm not judged by how many people I tell about Jesus
And I'm so thankful that Jesus willingly was judged for my wickedness in all of those areas and more
And that now my Creator looks on me as if I'd obeyed, because his resurrected Son did in my place.
You're judged by all of those things. You're not saved by them, but you surely are judged by them.

Alex, you might want to clarify what you mean a little bit.
