How do we know that we are justified through Christ?
Answered in 1 source
We are justified through faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law and offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.
Justification is a central tenet of Christianity, affirming that we are made righteous before God not through our works but through faith in Jesus Christ. According to Romans 3:20, 'by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight.' This highlights that no one can earn righteousness through their efforts. Instead, Romans 3:24 assures us that we are 'justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.' This means that Christ's substitutionary death on the cross satisfied God's justice, allowing believers to stand before Him without condemnation. Therefore, for those who trust in Jesus, we have the assurance of justification through His work alone.
