How does Christ's sacrifice relate to our justification?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ's sacrifice is the basis of our justification, as He took our place and fulfilled the law (Romans 3:24).
Justification is the act of God declaring sinners righteous based on Christ's sacrifice. Romans 3:24 emphasizes that we are 'justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.' This means that Christ's sacrificial death atones for our sins and meets the demands of God's law. His perfect righteousness is imputed to believers, granting them a standing before God that is irrevocable and secure, owing entirely to the grace of God in Christ.
