How does one become justified according to scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Justification comes through faith in Jesus Christ, as articulated in Romans 3:24-26.

Scriptural teaching on justification is clear and unambiguous. According to Romans 3:24-26, we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Justification is a legal declaration by God, whereby He accounts the believer as righteous, not based on their works, but solely through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. This doctrine aligns with the historic Reformed understanding of salvation; it is by grace alone (Sola Gratia) that we stand justified before a holy God. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to the believer, fulfilling the divine requirement of justice while also satisfying God's love and mercy.
