What does the Bible say about justification and the law?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that justification comes not from obeying the law but from faith in Jesus Christ, as stated in Romans 3:28.

According to Romans 3:28, we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Paul emphasizes that neither Jews nor Gentiles can achieve justification through legal obedience, as all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). The purpose of the law is to reveal sin, leading us to recognize our need for a Savior and resulting in justification through faith in Christ alone, which secures our standing before God based on His grace rather than our works.
