What does it mean that God justifies the elect?

Answered in 1 source

God justifies the elect by declaring them righteous based on Christ's sacrifice.

Justification is a core element of the Gospel. According to Romans 8:33-34, God justifies the elect, which means He declares them righteous through faith in Christ Jesus. This declaration is not based on any subjective righteousness of our own, but rather on the perfect righteousness of Christ, which is imputed to us. This truth provides believers with immense comfort, as it assures them that their standing before God is secure, irrespective of their failures or shortcomings.
