Through His sacrifice, Christ justified many by bearing their iniquities, as stated in Isaiah 53:11.
The doctrine of Christ justifying His people is grounded in Isaiah 53:11, where it states that by His knowledge, the righteous servant would justify many, bearing their iniquities. This principle is essential to sovereign grace theology, which teaches that Christ's work was predestined before creation to accomplish salvation for those chosen by God (Ephesians 1:4-5). The fulfillment of the law, both positively and negatively, was realized in Christ as He bore the full penalty of sin while simultaneously fulfilling the righteousness required by the law. Thus, the justification is not merely a potentiality but a definitive reality for His elect.
