What does being 'justified by His blood' mean?

Answered in 2 sources

Being 'justified by His blood' means that our sins are cleansed, and we are declared righteous before God through Christ’s sacrifice.

'Justified by His blood' underscores the importance of the atoning work of Christ on the cross, which provides the basis for our justification. Romans 5:9 states, 'Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.' This implies that Christ's sacrificial death not only removes the penalty of sin but also declares us righteous in the sight of God. Sovereign grace theology holds that this justification comes through faith alone, ensuring that salvation is wholly an act of divine grace rather than human effort.
