What do the Five Points of Dordrecht say about justification?

Answered in 1 source

The Five Points of Dordrecht affirm that justification is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, rejecting any notion of self-justification.

The Five Points of Dordrecht, foundational to Reformed theology, assert that justification is solely an act of God’s grace, reflecting His sovereignty over salvation. This means that it is not based on human merit but solely on faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). The points counter the notion of Arminianism, which suggests that human choice plays a role in justification. Instead, they emphasize that God's elect are justified by grace through faith and that this justification is entirely outside of their works, standing as a testament to His sovereign will and mercy toward His people. This highlights the depth of God’s love and commitment to His covenant people.
