What does it mean to be justified in the sight of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being justified means being declared righteous before God through faith in Christ's finished work.

Justification is a pivotal doctrine in Reformed theology, indicating that a sinner is declared righteous in the sight of God solely based on faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 states that 'being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' This declaration of righteousness is not based on any works we perform but is grounded in the righteousness of Jesus, which is imputed to us. This means that upon believing, we are seen as righteous because of Christ's obedience and sacrificial death, securing our acceptance with God.
