A sinner is justified before God through faith in Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law and provided righteousness for those who believe.
Justification for sinners occurs through faith in Jesus Christ, as He alone fulfilled the law and bore the penalty for sin. Romans 3:22 explains that the righteousness of God is by faith in Christ and is available to all who believe. Our justification is based on Christ's perfect obedience, which satisfies the demands of God's justice. In essence, when we place our faith in Him, we are legally declared righteous and accepted by God, not because of our works but solely due to the merits of Christ. This profound truth brings comfort, assurance, and hope, encapsulated in the gospel message.
