What does being justified in Christ mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being justified in Christ means that believers are declared righteous before God through faith.

Justification in Christ is a central tenet of Reformed theology, signifying that through faith in Jesus, believers are declared righteous before a holy and just God. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, Christ was made sin for us so that we could be made the righteousness of God in Him. This imputed righteousness delivers believers from the guilt and penalty of sin, assuring them of their acceptance before God. Moreover, this justification is not contingent on one's works but is entirely reliant on Christ's atoning sacrifice and God's grace.
