What does it mean that Christians are justified by faith?

Answered in 1 source

Justification by faith means being declared righteous before God through faith in Christ.

Justification is a key doctrine of the Reformed faith, asserting that believers are declared righteous before God based solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 tells us, 'Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This means that our standing before God is not based on our works but solely on Christ’s righteousness applied to us. This legal declaration frees us from the penalty of sin and ensures our acceptance before God, affirming the sufficiency of Christ as our Redeemer.
