Justification is established through the redemptive work of Christ, affirming that believers are declared righteous before God through faith in Him.
Justification is a central doctrine in Reformed theology, articulated clearly in Romans. Believers stand before God as justified, not due to their own merits, but because of Christ's perfect obedience and sacrificial death. The Apostle Paul teaches that through faith, we are imputed the righteousness of Christ, making us acceptable to God. This truth is grounded in the finished work of Jesus, thus removing all condemnation from those who are 'in Christ Jesus.' It is through this positional righteousness—entirely rooted in Christ—that believers find assurance and hope.
