What does justification by grace mean?

Answered in 1 source

Justification by grace means being declared righteous before God based solely on Christ's work, not on personal merit.

Justification by grace is the act of God declaring a sinner to be righteous based on the merits of Christ rather than any human efforts. As stated in Romans 3:24, believers are justified freely by God's grace through Christ’s redemption. This emphasizes that no individual can contribute to their standing before God; rather, it is through the imputed righteousness of Christ that they are made right with God. This doctrine solidifies the principle that salvation is entirely a divine work, ensuring that the glory of redemption is attributed solely to God and His grace.
