What is justification according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Justification is God's act of declaring sinners righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.

Justification is a central doctrine in Reformed theology, emphasized in Romans 3:24, which states that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This means that through faith in Christ's completed work, believers are declared righteous before God, not based on their own works or merits. Justification signifies that the penalty for our sins has been paid by Christ, and His righteousness is credited to us. It underscores God's justice and mercy, as He remains just while justifying the ungodly who believe in Him.
