What does justification mean in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is God’s act of declaring a sinner righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.

Justification is a doctrinal cornerstone in Reformed theology, as it represents God's judicial act wherein He declares the sinner righteous based on faith in Christ. Romans 3:24 states that we are 'justified freely by His grace.' This means that justification is not based on our works but solely on Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. It signifies a complete acquittal from all sin, allowing believers to approach God without condemnation, as God sees them through the righteousness of Christ.
