How can faith in Christ justify us before God?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ justifies us by uniting us with His righteousness, not by our own works.

Justification before God is grounded in our faith in Jesus Christ, whose righteousness is credited to believers. As highlighted in Galatians 2:16, we are 'justified by the faith of Jesus Christ.' This faith is not merely intellectual assent but a full reliance on His work—His life, death, and resurrection—as the basis for our standing before God. This means that when God looks upon us, He sees the righteousness of Christ rather than our sinfulness. Therefore, it’s essential for Christians to grasp that justification is not about achieving personal merit but wholeheartedly trusting in Christ for our salvation. Through this faith, believers are assured of peace with God and eternal security.
