Justification is true as it is rooted in the character of God and affirmed by Scripture, emphasizing God's righteousness in the act of redemption.
Justification is a core doctrine of Reformed theology that asserts believers are declared righteous in the sight of God solely through faith in Jesus Christ. This is not a mere legal fiction but stands on the unchanging character of God, who is perfectly righteous in all His actions. The Scripture affirms in Hebrews 8:12 that God remembers our sins no more due to the sacrifice of Christ, which signifies justification's foundation. God, being righteous, ensures that the penalty for sin is fully satisfied in Christ's atonement. Consequently, our union with Him allows us to be seen as righteous, not due to our works but through faith in the righteousness of Christ, confirming the truth of this vital doctrine.
