How do we know that God justifies His people?

Answered in 1 source

God justifies His people through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, which satisfies divine justice.

The doctrine of justification hinges on the redemptive work of Christ, who was delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification (Romans 4:25). Justification is God declaring sinners to be righteous, not on their merit but on the basis of Christ's perfect sacrifice. This act is rooted in God's sovereign grace, meaning that no human efforts can contribute to our justification. Romans 8:33 emphasizes that it is God who justifies; therefore, any charge against God's elect is rendered ineffective. This assurance is reinforced by the resurrection of Christ, which confirms that the price for sin is fully paid, allowing believers to stand righteous before God without fear of condemnation.
