How do we know that believers are justified from sin?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are justified from sin because they are united with Christ in His death and resurrection, which entails the removal of their sin.

The doctrine of justification is central to the Christian faith, as detailed in Romans 6:5-7. Any believer who is united with Christ in His death is also assured of their justification from sin. When Christ was crucified, the body of sin belonging to believers was dealt with; it was destroyed, thereby ensuring that sin no longer has dominion over them. Paul emphasizes that justification is not a mere pretense but a definitive declaration of righteousness for those who believe. When God looks upon the believer, He sees them as He sees Christ—perfect and without sin. This union not only guarantees forgiveness but also establishes a new life in Christ, full of righteousness and hope.
