What does it mean to be justified by faith according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

To be justified by faith means to be declared righteous by God through faith in Jesus Christ, not through our works.

Justification by faith is a cornerstone of Reformed theology. The Bible emphasizes that we are declared righteous not because of anything we have done but solely through faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians 3 asserts that we cannot earn God’s favor through law-keeping. Justification is about having Christ's righteousness counted as ours through faith, which is a gift from God. This declaration brings believers into a right relationship with God, freeing them from the curse of the law and providing assurance of salvation. It highlights the complete sufficiency of Christ’s atoning sacrifice.
