How do we know God justifies believers?

Answered in 1 source

God justifies believers by faith in Christ, who takes their place as the one who was judged, allowing them to hear the sentence of 'not guilty.'

The assurance of a believer's justification is rooted deeply in the work of Christ. The moment one casts themselves at the cross, a divine verdict of 'not guilty' is pronounced, as God is the one who justifies. Romans 8:33 affirms that if God justifies, no one can condemn, highlighting the divine safety and assurance believers have. The judgment they will face is a proclamation of the righteousness already secured through faith, affirming that the works that flow from belief in Christ do signify their relationship with Him but do not serve as the basis of their salvation.
