How do we know that we are justified before God?

Justification before God is anchored in the finished work of Christ. Romans 4:25 emphasizes that Jesus was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification. It is through faith in Him that we are declared righteous. The law, which once condemned us, now looks favorably upon believers because of Christ's substitutionary sacrifice. For those who believe, their guilt is removed, and they are seen as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in God's sight (Colossians 1:22). This means when we stand before God, we do not rely on our works but on the righteousness of Christ credited to us. This truth provides believers with immense peace and confidence before God, as articulated in Romans 5:1, 'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
