Our justification is assured by the love of God demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial death and His ongoing work of intercession.
The certainty of our justification is evidenced in Romans 5:8-9 where Paul reveals that 'God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' This act of love, coupled with Christ’s resurrection and His continuous intercession for us (as mentioned in Romans 5:10), secures the reality of our justified status before God. Our standing is not based on fluctuating emotions or self-assessment but on the immutable work of Christ and the declaration made by God. Believers can take comfort in knowing they are justified through the grace of God, as indicated in Romans 3:24, which states that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
