How do we know Christ's work of justification is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's justification is secured by His sacrificial death, which fully satisfies God's justice.

Justification is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology, articulated as God's declaration that a sinner is righteous based on faith in Christ alone. It is wholly an act of God's grace, not based on any merit of our own. The preacher emphasizes that all our righteousness is like filthy rags, and we cannot do anything to enhance our standing before God. The assurance of our justification rests entirely on Christ's completed work on the cross, fulfilling the demands of God's law and satisfying divine justice. If we attempt to add to Christ's work, we misunderstand the gospel, as it is solely through Him that we are considered righteous before God. This truth is critical for every believer and highlights the gracious nature of our redemption.
