How do we know justification is true according to the Bible?

Answered in 6 sources

Justification is proclaimed in Scripture as a foundational truth for believers, confirmed by Christ's righteousness imputed to them.

Justification is a core doctrine that states believers are declared righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not based on our works or personal righteousness, which Scripture describes as 'filthy rags' (Isaiah 64:6). Instead, justification is grounded in the belief that Christ's righteousness is imputed to us. This is beautifully illustrated in the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14), where the humble cry of the publican for mercy leads to his justification. Furthermore, Paul affirms in Romans 5:1 that through faith, we are justified and have peace with God.
