What does the Bible say about how man can be just before God?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that man can only be justified before God through faith in Jesus Christ, who alone provides righteousness.
The question of how a man can be just before God has been addressed in Scripture, particularly in Job 9:2. The holiness of God necessitates that sin must be dealt with righteously. God cannot overlook sin, and thus justification is achieved only through the righteousness imparted by Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-22 states that the righteousness of God is revealed through faith in Christ to all who believe, emphasizing that we are justified freely by His grace through redemption in Christ (Romans 3:24). This means that despite our sinful nature, we can stand justified before God when we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ.
