Justification, Summary: Justification and righteousness are inseparably united in Scripture by the fact that the same word (dikaios, “righteous”; dikaioo, “to justify”) is used for both. The believing sinner is justified because Christ, having borne his sins on the cross, has been “made unto him righteousness” 1 Corinthians 1:30. Justification originates in grace ; Romans 3:24; Titus 3:4,5 is through the redemptive and propitiatory work of Christ, who has vindicated the law ; Romans 3:24,25; 5:9 is by faith, not works ; Romans 3:28-30; 4:5; 5:1; Galatians 2:16; 3:8,24 and may be defined as the judicial act of God whereby He justly declares righteous one who believes on Jesus Christ. It is the Judge Himself Romans 8:31-34 who thus declares. The justified believer has been in court, only to learn that nothing is laid to his charge. Romans 8:1,33,34.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from through him.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his is counted for righteousness.

Galatians 2:16

Knowing that a man is not justified by the , but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be .

Galatians 3:8, 24

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall be blessed.

Romans 8:1, 31-34

1 There is therefore now no to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, ?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of ? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the of God, who also maketh for us.
