How can we be justified according to the Reformed perspective?

Answered in 1 source

Justification comes solely through faith in Christ, which is a gift from God rather than a result of our works.

From a Reformed perspective, justification is not earned through human effort but is a gracious act of God achieved through Jesus Christ. Notably, Romans 4:5 states that God justifies the ungodly, and this act is through faith, emphasizing that it is not of our deeds but entirely by grace. According to 2 Corinthians 5:21, Christ was made sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. Thus, understanding that justification is wholly a divine provision reassures believers that their standing before God depends solely on Christ's righteousness, not on their own merits, reflecting the core tenet of sovereign grace theology.
