How is the blood of Christ related to our justification?

Answered in 1 source

The blood of Christ is integral to our justification, making believers not guilty before God.

Justification, in biblical terms, refers to being declared righteous before God. The blood of Christ is central to this doctrine because it is through His sacrificial death that we are justified. Romans 5:9 emphasizes that, 'being now justified by his blood,' we can be assured of our standing before God. This means that upon belief in Christ, our sins are not merely overlooked; they are fully paid for, resulting in the believer being seen as righteous in God’s sight. This is not a form of legal fiction, but a true change in status, as the believer is accounted righteous based on Christ's righteousness imputed to them through faith.
