How do we know that justification is unconditional?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is unconditional because Scripture explicitly states it is given freely by grace, without any merits or conditions on the part of the sinner.

In Romans 3:24, we find a clear assertion that 'being justified freely by His grace' establishes that justification cannot be contingent on human actions. The term 'freely' signifies that it is given without cause or merit, aligning with the belief that God's grace in justification does not consider any conditions that we fulfill. Historical theological writings confirm this doctrine, affirming that no amount of good works, faith, or repentance can be considered prerequisites for justification. This understanding highlights that it is through God's initiative that individuals are declared righteous, removing any basis for boasting or personal merit in the process.
