How are guilty sinners justified before God?

According to biblical teaching, guilty sinners are justified before God not through their own merits or observance of the law, but through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Galatians 2:16 affirms that we are justified by faith and not by the works of the law. Moreover, Romans 3:24 clearly states that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This emphasizes the unmerited nature of God's grace and the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for our justification.
