What is the source of our justification?

Answered in 3 sources

The source of our justification is God's grace, achieved through the redemptive work of Christ.

Our justification stems solely from the grace of God and is intrinsically tied to the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:24 states, 'Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.' This affirms that justification is a gift granted without cost to the believer, highlighting God's unmerited favor. It is not derived from adherence to the law or individual works but is based wholly on Christ's atoning blood, as stated in Romans 5:9, 'Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.' Understanding that our justification is rooted in Christ's work provides profound assurance and underscores the necessity of placing our faith in Him alone.
