How is a guilty sinner justified before a holy God?

Answered in 1 source

A guilty sinner is justified before God through faith in Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for sin.

The question of how a guilty sinner can be justified before a holy God is addressed in scripture, particularly in Romans 8:32-34. Justification is an act of God, declaring sinners to be righteous through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This involves not only the removal of sin but also the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to believers. The only means of justifying the ungodly is through Christ’s sacrificial death, which satisfied divine justice. Thus, all who put their trust in Him are declared justified and granted peace with God, despite their previous sinfulness.
