How can someone be justified according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

One is justified by faith in Jesus Christ, not by works.

The Bible teaches that justification is received through faith, not by any works or efforts on our part. As demonstrated in Romans 4:5, 'to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.' This signifies that the faith we place in Christ is a response to His completed work, highlighting that we cannot earn righteousness through our deeds. Justification is wholly based on Christ's righteousness and grace—His obedience and sacrifice on our behalf—and when we recognize this truth, we are granted peace knowing that God sees us as justified through faith. Therefore, faith is not a condition of salvation but rather a consequence of being saved.
