What does it mean that Christians are justified by faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Christians are justified by faith, meaning they are declared righteous before God through their belief in Christ.

Justification by faith is a core doctrine in Reformed theology, emphasizing that belief in Jesus Christ results in a believer's righteous standing before God. This doctrine is rooted in Romans 5:1, which clearly states that we have peace with God through faith in Jesus. It demonstrates that our justification is not rooted in our works but in the atoning sacrifice of Christ—He bore the penalty for our sins, allowing us to be reconciled with God. This understanding empowers Christians to live in obedience and gratitude, knowing their salvation is secure in Him.
