How do we know that justification means we have no sin?

Answered in 1 source

Justification means believers are declared righteous before God with no sin, as shown in 1 John 1:9.

The doctrine of justification is central to the believer's assurance before God. When Scripture states that believers have no sin due to their justification, it emphasizes their status rather than their actions. 1 John 1:9 illustrates that if we confess our sins, He is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us, making us justified in His sight. Justification is a legal declaration where God views believers as righteous because they are united with Christ, whose righteousness is imparted to them. As such, believers stand perfect before God, with His holiness credited to them.
