Christ is the mediator and basis of our justification, accomplishing righteousness through His sacrificial death.
In Christian doctrine, Jesus Christ plays an indispensable role in our justification. He serves as the mediator between God and man, fulfilling all the requirements of the law on behalf of the elect. Christ’s righteousness is imputed to believers, meaning that their sins are transferred to Him, and His righteousness is credited to them. This exchange allows God to justly declare justified those who believe. His obedience, from His life to His death on the cross, is the foundation of our justification and confirms that salvation is rooted in His grace, not in human merit.
