How can a sinner be just before God?

Answered in 1 source

A sinner can only be justified before God through the righteousness provided by Jesus Christ.

The question of how a sinner can be just before God is central to the gospel message. According to Jeremiah 23:6, God is referred to as 'The Lord our righteousness.' This signifies that a person must be righteous, perfect, and without sin to stand in God's presence. However, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, righteousness cannot be achieved through individual efforts or moral deeds. Instead, it is a gift from God, bestowed through faith in Jesus Christ who bore our sins on the cross. Thus, true salvation relies on accepting Christ's righteousness as our own, not on personal merit.
