How is justification achieved according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

Justification is achieved by grace through faith in Christ, not by the works of the law (Galatians 2:16).

The biblical doctrine of justification emphasizes that it is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Paul strongly asserts in Galatians 2:16 that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. This doctrine highlights that justification is a gracious act of God in which He declares sinners righteous based on the merit of Christ's atoning work. This understanding liberates believers from the burdens of trying to earn acceptance before God through their actions. Instead, they look solely to Christ, who fulfilled the law on their behalf and took upon Himself the punishment for their sins, ensuring their acceptance before God.
