What does the Bible say about justification through faith?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that justification is by faith in Christ apart from works, as illustrated in Romans 4:13.
Justification through faith is a central tenet of the Christian gospel, repeatedly emphasized in Scripture, particularly in Romans 4:13, which states that the promise of being an heir is not based on the law but on the righteousness of faith. This means that no sinner can attain righteousness through their own efforts; rather, it is through belief in Christ and His obedience that a believer is declared righteous. The foundation of this doctrine rests on the reality that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), only Christ, through His perfect compliance with the law, provides the required righteousness for justification.
