What is the meaning of justification in the context of grace?

Answered in 1 source

Justification means being declared not guilty before God through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works.

Justification is the act of God declaring a sinner righteous based on their faith in Jesus Christ, as noted in Galatians 2:16. This doctrine emphasizes that no one can be justified by their own works, which are insufficient for salvation. Instead, justification is grounded in the faithfulness and obedience of Christ, who took upon Himself the sins of His people and satisfied God's justice. This means believers are seen as 'not guilty' before God, because Christ paid the penalty for their sins, assuring them of their standing before a holy God.
