Justification is being declared righteous by God, based not on our works but on Christ's righteousness imputed to us.
Justification is a central doctrine of the Christian faith that states believers are declared righteous in the eyes of God. Ephesians 1:6 reminds us that we are accepted in the Beloved, meaning our justification is not a result of our efforts or merit but is entirely based on the righteousness of Christ. This imputed righteousness ensures that we stand before God without condemnation, granting us peace, security, and a rightful place in His family as His children.
