How do we know that justification is real?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification is affirmed in Scripture, indicating that believers are declared righteous because of Christ's work on their behalf.

Justification, a central doctrine of Reformed theology, is the act by which God declares sinners to be righteous based on the righteousness of Christ. This is supported by passages such as Romans 5:1, which states, 'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This peace comes from the understanding that Christ's obedience and sacrificial death are the basis for our justification. In contrast to the condemnation experienced through Adam’s transgression, the justification believers receive in Christ is a free gift, emphasizing grace alone. Thus, through faith in Christ, we are assured of our justified status before God, which is foundational to the Christian faith.
