I don't see God as mixing up our status and Jesus', whether accidentally or deliberately. I don't see anywhere in Scripture where it says that God saw Jesus as guilty of sin - except perhaps in one possible interpretation of 2 Corinthians 5:21. As for how God sees us as justified without injustice, I can only suggest that God understands us Christians to have already been punished, in that we have died to sin (and need to die to sin daily because of our ongoing sins) and raised to new life in Christ. This is not a complete and adequate description, but it makes more sense to me than the deliberate miscarriage of justice idea which seems to lie behind Grudem's thinking as quoted by Adrian.
