What does 'being justified by His blood' mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being justified by His blood means being declared righteous before God through the sacrificial death of Jesus.

'Being justified by His blood' signifies the complete satisfaction of God's justice through Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Romans 5:9 explicitly declares that believers are justified—declared righteous—because of Jesus’ blood, erasing guilt and granting a status of holiness before God. This indicates that personal merit or works do not contribute to justification; instead, it is entirely due to the work of Jesus at Calvary. Therefore, for believers, justification is a profound gift and affirmation of their secure standing in God's favor.
