Justification is true as it is rooted in Christ's completed work, where He secured righteousness for His people through His obedience and atoning sacrifice.
Justification is a vital doctrine articulated in Scripture, where God declares sinners righteous based on Christ's merit rather than personal merit. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reassures believers that because Christ has risen, the justification of the elect is assured; our sins are fully paid for, and we are credited with Christ’s righteousness. Justification is not merely a declaration but is also a legal term that implies a position of acceptance before God that is unalterable. This assurance stands firm because it's rooted in God’s eternal purpose and the finished work of Christ on the cross, making it not just a hope but a guarantee for those who believe.
