Why is Simeon considered a just and devout man?

Answered in 1 source

Simeon is called just and devout because he was justified by faith in God's promise and lived a life of reverence toward Him.

Despite being a sinner, Simeon is termed just in Luke 2:25 because his righteousness was based on the eternal purpose of God seen in Christ. Before the foundation of the world, God planned salvation through Christ, and Simeon's faith in these promises illustrates the essence of true justification. He was devout, meaning he earnestly revered God's promises and awaited the promised Redeemer, a quality that reflects true faith and devotion.
