We know we are justified by God through faith in Jesus Christ, as God Himself declares us righteous.
Justification is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology. According to Romans 8:33, it is God who justifies us, asserting that no one can bring charges against the elect. This theological truth assures believers that their standing before God is secure not because of their works but because of Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection. In John 5:22, we see that all judgment has been committed to the Son, further assuring us that Christ will not condemn those who believe in Him. Thus, our justification is rooted in God’s grace through faith, providing a solid foundation for our assurance.
