How can we be justified by faith through this man?
Answered in 1 source
We are justified by faith through Christ because His sacrificial death fully atones for sin, providing forgiveness for all who believe.
Justification by faith serves as a core tenet of the Christian faith, encapsulated in the declaration made by Paul in Acts 13:38 that 'through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.' This profound statement emphasizes the power of Jesus' sacrifice, which enables believers to be justified from all things, something the law of Moses could not accomplish (Acts 13:39). Within Reformed theology, justification is seen as a gift of God's grace, received through faith, aligning with Ephesians 2:8-9. Ultimately, through Jesus, Christians find assurance not only of forgiveness but also of righteous standing before God, reassuring them that their sins are not counted against them due to Christ's finished work.
