JESUS is my Warrant
1 Corinthians 1:8 And He will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be] guiltless {and} irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
The word "warrant" or "confirm" in the New Testament used the Greek word:"bebaioo" meaning to establish and to confirm.
If you like someone to be tried in a human court, you need first to secure a warrant of arrest against that person, or it will be totally against the law just to pick someone and you are liable for kidnapping that person with unauthorized and criminal motivations, and you will be brought to jail instead.
The probable cause requirement comes from the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states that: ... Police must also have probable cause to arrest without a warrant, and in many cases to search or seize property without a warrant. Prosecutors must also have probable cause to charge a defendant with a crime.

If you want to imprison someone, you need to secure a warrant of arrests stating the violations of that specific person and the reason that its all jailable.
GOD has warrant of arrests for all His believers, the CHRISTian believer, and that is JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS CHRIST in all His body markings wrote down all our warrant the specific proof that we need for us to go to Heaven.
Let me quote it again that part:
"He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be] guiltless {and} irreproachable"
See people will accuse you of everything, people will accuse of doing this or not doing this, doing that and not doing that, so they will put you on spiriftual jail. They will turn a cold cheek to you, against you, gossip you to their friends and that you are not as good as them. Well these are people the very human factors that made JESUS come down from His Throne of Heaven and became a man for all of us. People are people, they criticize everyone who is different from them. But JESUS is GOD, and GOD IS GOD.
He has a different level of reasoning.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
When people say religion, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say good works, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say karma, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say accomplishments, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say idols, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say hope, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
When people say Heaven, GOD says JESUS CHRIST.
JESUS CHRIST is the only official ways and means for all people to be saved. JESUS CHRIST is the Warrant or Proof or Confirmation that someone laden down with all kinds and types of sin, when they believe in JESUS CHRIST alone, they will be saved from hell and will go to Heaven, irregardless of what their circumstances they are in.
Romans 2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.
Romans 2:2 But know that the judgment of God is according to truth on those who practice such things.
JESUS CHRIST is the Judge alone and we are not, we are only humans that is subject to the judgement of GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
When people accuse you, when people indict you, always remember these accusations and insults are directed to JESUS CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST shields these accusations and indicment of people so we will not be affected spiritually by it.
Romans 15:3
For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."
Matthew 5:11
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. It's past tense. What a sweet word from the MASTER LORD JESUS, He took all those insults that people will give us, and JESUS CHRIST already knows how many insults we will receive in this lifetime and He took it all away from us and let it fall on Himself.
That's why when people insult you and you know that it's not true, just laughed at them. No don't laugh at them because they will go to hell, but laugh at them because they are ignorant of GOD'S WORDS that they don't know the more they insult you, the more they increase their level of judgement and punishment that they will receive from the LORD JEUS CHRIST Himself when judgement day comes. What a relief! What words of comfort only the LORD JESUS CHRIST can give.
