“And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight." To be "holy" here is positional. You have received God's imputed righteousness. That means when the Father looks at you, He doesn't see your sin, instead, He sees Christ's perfect holiness. If you have ever been to a house of mirrors, you will notice some mirrors make you look thin and others make you look fat. So that what you see is different from what you really look like. Through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, even though you aren't perfect, God the Father sees you as perfect.
